In February this year, a video of Cohen bleeding from the forehead went viral and he could be heard saying,

Sarah did this. Nobody else.

Cohen's sister said she used to communicate with him on a daily basis and he always accused Wairimu of being violent.

I'm asking for help. Let him appear. Where is my brother? It doesn't add up. It's not possible,' she said in a video.

Adding,

She (Wairimu) pushed him off a huge terrace in front of his house. He ended up down the stairs where she also attacked him with a chair. My first response was 'he is dead'.

Cohen visited police stations several times reporting the assaults, with the latest being July 12 this year but nothing was done.
