Cohen, a celebrated golf tournament organizer among local corporate honchos, was reported missing in July 2019, and his wife Sarah Wairimu was arrested and detained when detectives linked her to his death. She was eventually charged alongside businessman Peter Karanja.

The late Cohen was a former Chief Executive Officer of Dutch conglomerate Philips East Africa who had lived in Kenya for many years.

Detectives said the body had been blindfolded and wrapped in a blue blanket, with both hands tied, suggesting he may have been tortured to death, according to detectives handling the case.
