A prisons department vehicle ferrying Sarah Wairimu Cohen arrived at the Jewish cemetery in Nairobi shortly after 1pm yesterday for a burial that was never to be. The High Court had yesterday morning allowed her to attend the burial of her late husband Tob Cohen.

Clad in clothes similar to those she wore last week and under guard from prison officers, Ms Wairimu waited pensively by the graveside for Cohen’s body to arrive from Chiromo Mortuary.
