Shishemi told the court during cross-examination that the couple had a troubled marriage marked by insults, frequent quarrels and physical altercations.

He offered the court and the public a rare glimpse into the private life of the late businessman and his wife, lifting the lid on events that unfolded behind the doors of their lavish Kitisuru home in Nairobi.

“When I went outside, Tob was crying, saying, ‘Do not kill me.’ He was using other words like, ‘You stupid woman.’ They had developed a separation mood,” said Shishemi.

The tenth prosecution witness also told the court that Cohen’s use of alcohol contributed to his behaviour and further strained the couple’s relationship.

“Sarah one day asked me if I suspect or ever seen Cohen using other drugs,” Shishemi added.
