Kenya: 'If I'm Found Dead, Tell Them It Is Sarah' - Tob Cohen's Final Warning Revealed in Murder Trial
Patrick Muiruri, a former member of parliament, took the stand in a Nairobi High Court and told the court something that stopped the room cold. According to Muiruri, businessman Tob Cohen looked him in the eye days before his death and said: "If I'm found dead, tell them it is Sarah."
Muiruri was testifying in the ongoing murder trial connected to Cohen's death, sharing what he described as their final conversation. The weight of that exchange only became clear in hindsight, and now it sits at the center of one of Kenya's most closely watched court cases.
The testimony adds a deeply personal dimension to proceedings that have already drawn significant public attention. A man, by Muiruri's account, who seemed to sense what was coming and chose to leave a name behind just in case.
The trial continues, and the country is listening.
