The Court of Appeal has rejected Sarah Wairimu Cohen's fresh bid for bail as she awaits trial for the murder of her husband, Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen. The court directed that her appeal against the refusal to grant bail be heard on a priority basis.

• Sarah Wairimu Cohen will remain in custody pending her trial.
• The appeal court judges ruled that granting bail before hearing her appeal would amount to deciding the appeal in advance.
• The murder trial is currently before the Kibera High Court, with Wairimu accused of murdering her husband between July 19 and 20, 2019.
