Murdered Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen has finally been laid to rest at the Jewish cemetery, Nairobi.
The late businessman’s burial, which was to take place on Monday afternoon, was postponed to today after the family failed to get enough Jewish priests to preside over the ceremony.
The burial planners said they only managed to get eight Jewish priests, instead of the required 10 required to preside over the ceremony.
The casket carrying Cohen’s remains was lowered into his final resting place a few minutes to 5pm.
Cohen’s widow Sarah Wairimu, who is the prime suspect in Cohen’s murder, was allowed to attend the burial.
Holding a white handkerchief, Ms Wairimu could be seen wiping her tears as the priests performed final rituals inline with the Jewish culture.
