Through her lawyer, Philip Murgor, Wairimu stated that she
had a pending divorce case in court, adding that she needed to fight for a 50
percent stake in property jointly owned with her husband.
The court heard that their
Kitusuru home, valued at Ksh 400 million, risked being grabbed since nobody
lived at the house.
"Wairimu's
housekeepers were chased away after the body was retrieved," Murgor
stated.
Murgor further refuted
claims that the house had been handed over to Cohen's sister, Gabrielle
Van Straten.
He added that the
prosecution did not have enough reasons to continue detaining her client.
On their part, the
prosecution told Justice Jessie
Lessit that more time was needed to conduct a
post-mortem examination to establish what killed Cohen.
They requested that Wairimu
takes plea on September 26.
The Dutch billionaire's
body was found buried in his home, more than 60 days after he had been reported
missing.
