How the late Tob Cohen wife Wairimu lured Court Judge to steamy sexy, murder cover up

223 Comments

Court of Appeal Judge Justice Sankale Ole Kantai was On Friday arrested over alleged interference in relation to the Dutch billionare Tob Cohen murder case. He was arrested and taken to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters Kiambu Road Friday morning.

The Daily Nation exposed a sexual affair the judge has been having with Sarah Wairimu Cohen who is the primary suspect in the murder of her late husband Tob Cohen; sample this:

The judge was sitting on the terrace of Kisumu’s Aqua Pool Bar on the second floor of Acacia Premier Hotel, watching the sunset as he waited for the murder suspect.

From here — and there is a panoramic view of Lake Victoria below — he could see the plane carrying the suspect as it approached the airport from Nairobi.

And now, the judge could be in trouble for cavorting with a murder suspect in a case that might shed light on the rot in the Judiciary.

The suspect had reached out to him, hoping to get some advice just in case she was caught or if the police implicated her.

But the judge was in Kisumu attending a workshop, according to documents left at the hotel where he was booked in Room 405.

TRANSPORT FACILITATION

Investigations by the Nation indicate that the judge not only paid for the suspect’s ticket to Kisumu using M-Pesa, but also kept speaking to her as she boarded the flight on the day he sent his driver to pick her up and take her to the airport.

“Good morning. Driver left five minutes ago. He is coming for you,” the judge wrote.

“OK love,” she replied. “Pack mosquito repellent if you have,” the judge wrote in another SMS.

“Done.” After several minutes she wrote: “Hi. Driver has picked.”

At the Wilson Airport, the suspect once again sent an SMS to the judge telling him that she was boarding the aircraft: “Did you get medicated or shall I pick something en route once landed … We are boarding now.”

INTIMATE MESSAGES

“I have a cough syrup and lozenges. There is no steam bath here,” he wrote.

I slept around to revenge on my cheating boyfriend and got HIV

“Hi hun. I have checked in and now the long wait to boarding.” “CU soon,” replied the judge, attaching a kiss and the classic love heart emojis used as expressions of love.

The Nation has not ascertained whether the two were in any relationship, but we have evidence that the two had a dalliance in business.

There are no records at the hotel to suggest that the suspect booked a separate room — and there is no evidence, either, that she left the hotel on that day.

That evening at the Aqua Pool, the two ordered a whole Tilapia and one “Catch of the Day”.

POLICE SUMMONS

It was delivered to Room 405 and a service charge of Sh2,800 was entered around 11pm in the name of the judge. They were also served with some whisky.

There is evidence that the two were still together the next day, and at about 4.30pm she ordered a Blue Berry cake only for the afternoon to be disrupted by a call from the police in Nairobi who wanted her to report to Kilimani, urgently.

The judge, using his mobile phone and M-Pesa account, booked a ticket for the suspect and she flew out of Kisumu the following day.

In Nairobi, the suspect scanned copies of the media coverage and story links and sent them to the judge before she went to record her statement with the police the next day.

Sources say that she asked for a soft copy of her statement, which she immediately sent to the judge: “This is what the police have recorded; peruse, add/remove what is necessary and return …”

The judge received the copy. He then sent the copy to the suspect, who took the copy back to the police station.

INTEGRITY

But police did not delete the previous copy and filed the two reports — the last without an official signature.

The relationship between the suspect and the judge appears to have gone back many years when the judge, then a lawyer, registered himself as the beneficial owner of a share owned by a former MP without the knowledge of the majority shareholder.

He later transferred the share to the suspect. Because of the sensitivity of the matter, we can neither name the judge nor the suspect.

While judges, like Caesar’s wife, must be above suspicion, pure and honest, our investigations reveal that the conduct of a single judge could deal a huge blow to the Judiciary and erode public trust in the institution. Judge Ole Kantai. Judge Ole Kantai.

Comments

  1. Is the judge directly handling the case in court? Was he aware of the murder scheme and/act? Did the accused confide in him after the murder as to who and how it was executed? Why did the accused run to him for advice if she knew nothing about the murder?
    Aside from these, I, from other experience with a magistrate in Kisumu whom I have complained against to the Ombudsman and JSC, have reasonable grounds to believe there are judicial officers in Kenya that work closely with criminals and police accomplices for personal gain. The Pastor Ng’anga , incarcerated ex nyeri magistrate suspected of murder of the husband and lawyer kipsang in Athi River and the magistrates that handled their dispute before the murder incident clearly demonstrated that moral, professional and ethical standards in the judiciary are seriously wanting and quite a number of judicial officers befit the tag of CROOKS as correctly shouted out by the president of the Republic of Kenya.at one time.
    Let the truth be told, there’s no justice in Kenyan courts & judging by the rate at which court orders are being disobeyed or challenged, Kenyans are only buying time with the courts but soon we’ll start seeing demonstrations against particular judicial officers for their misconduct. The Mwingi Children’s Court case that leaked to the social media and the public outcry it elicited is a case in point.
    That a magistrate can participate or be credibly suspected in an act of murder need be the worst embarrassment to the JSC that intervied such for a job. It’s interesting that they have poured water on such incidences probably getting the 4th estate to blackout concerns on such conduct.
    Society creates it’s own criminals and with the corruption in the courts leading to injudicious application of the law to protect certain interests other than justice, more people are resorting to crime to settle their disputes especially where such cannot afford to purchase justice.
    Even within every station, crooked litigants know and scheme to have their cases heard by particular magistrates and it’s not strange to hear some declare derogatively how cheap some magistrates are or which woman can secure a desired judgement if sent to influence the case.
    It’s just difficult to tell how the honest shall survive onwards
