Sarah Wairimu Cohen's lawyer Philip Murgor accused the prosecution of allegedly defying a court order.

In the directive, lawyers prosecuting the case and investigating teams were barred from commenting on the matter outside court.

“There’s a publication that a second cousin of President Uhuru Kenyatta has been arrested.

I called the journalists and he said he was given the information by the DCI,” Philip Murgor said on Tuesday.

The advocate told the court that he will be filing a suit against the DCI for leaking information related to the murder case.

The prosecution, led by Catherine Mwaniki, rejected the claims saying they would investigate the source of the leak.

Police did not say whether she was a witness or a suspect due to a gag on the case.

Peter Njoroge Karanja a Naivasha businessman is also being detained at the Kiambu Police station.

As the police conduct forensic investigations and question more people who are well known to him.
