NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 12 – Former MP Patrick Muiruri has told the High Court that businessman Tob Cohen expressed fears for his life days before his death, recounting a chilling warning allegedly made during their final conversation.

📻 Breaking It Down

Muiruri, who described himself as a friend of Cohen for 30 years, testified that the businessman told him: “If anything bad happens to me, or I am found dead somewhere, tell them it is Sarah.”

The testimony emerged on Monday as the murder trial of Sarah Wairimu Kamotho, who is charged in connection with the death of her husband, resumed before Lady Justice Diana Rachel Kavedza.

The prosecution, led by Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Vincent Monda, presented three witnesses as it continued building its case against Wairimu.
