The burial of slain Dutch tycoon, Tob Cohen, has been postponed.
The postponement was announced just hours after his widow, Sarah Wairimu Kamotho, who’s been charged with his murder was allowed by court to attend the burial.
The family said it pushed the burial to Tuesday because Jewish religious rites demand presence of 10 priests and a rabbi.
A rabbi is a Jewish scholar or teacher, especially one who studies or teaches Jewish law, according to the online Oxford dictionary.
Wairimu and Cohen’s brother, Bernard, only managed to get eight priests thereby pushing the burial to Tuesday at 2.30 pm.
High Court Judge Stella Mutuku on Monday ordered Lang’ata Women’s Prison commandant to ensure Wairimu was escorted to the burial.
The burial will be held at a cemetery on Wangari Maathai Road.
