Sarah Wairimu Cohen who was arrested yesterday for the murder of her husband Tob Cohen after the DPP ordered for her arrest will remain in custody until Wed next week when the court will rule on whether she will be taken for mental assessment.
Wairimu was arrested on Thursday after the DPP DPP Renson Igonga said they have overwhelming evidence showing that Wairimu murdered Cohen on the night of July 19 and 20, 2019, at Lower Kabete Area, within Nairobi County.
She had been acquitted by court after the former DPP dropped the charges but Ingonga has reopened the case and ordered for her prosecution for the murder of her husband.
Wairimu through her lawyers has opposed a second mental assessment being done on her before taking plea saying the one she took in 2019 will suffice.
The lawyers also questioned Whether prosecution can bring fresh information after a nolle prosecu has been entered .
However, the DPP through state counsel Vincent Monda said she must take the mental assessment before she takes fresh plea.
“There’s no need of subjecting her to another mental assessment,” he argued.
Kibera High court judge Diana Kavenza said that the parties have submitted extensively and she needs time to address all the issues in a detailed ruling.
