Shocking testimony reveals the chilling details behind the murder of Dutch tycoon in Kenya

Dutch tycoon Herman Rouwenhorst was killed in June 2021, and a witness named ABC has given a detailed account of the planning that led to his murder.

According to ABC, the planning took place over a month, with two meetings held: one at a joint on the shores of the Indian Ocean, and another at a police station. ABC claimed that Ms Riziki Cherono was the focus of the plot to kill the foreigner, and that Mr Timothy Omondi Ngowe alias Kelvin Omondi alias Rashid and Ms Mary were also involved.

Ms Cherono is charged with double murder in the case, along with Mr Rashid. The witness claimed that she heard Ms Cherono discussing the murder plot with Mary, and that Ms Mary had informed her of the plan to kill the foreigner. The witness claimed that Ms Mary had informed her that they had chosen Mr Rashid to complete the task after considering a number of options.

ABC also stated that Ms Mary had thrown a birthday celebration on May 1, 2021, and that Ms Cherono had spent four days there instead of the one night she was permitted to go out.

A few days later, Ms Mary had requested that ABC accompany her to meet Ms Cherono at a joint on the shores of the Indian Ocean. There, they met with Ms Cherono and another person. After a brief discussion, Ms Cherono and Mr Rashid left the area on a motorcycle before coming back several hours later. ABC claimed that she overheard Mr Rashid boasting to Ms Mary about how easy the task at hand was and how he would complete it.

On June 2, Ms Mary picked up a key from Ms Cherono’s residence, according to ABC, before going back to their residence. The following day at 5 pm, Ms Mary left their home, claiming to visit her boyfriend in Kilifi. She gave ABC money to prepare supper for her two children. Ms Mary returned to their house at 4 am and told ABC that they had murdered Cherono’s husband and that Mr Rashid had completed the task. ABC claims that Ms Mary paid her Sh9,000 to settle a debt she owed her before giving her an additional Sh5,000 to take care of her children. Mr Rashid also gave her Sh2,000.

ABC claims that, while she was at home, Ms Mary called her using a strange number to let her know that she had been arrested. She gave ABC instructions to throw away her phone and the line and to lie if she was ever arrested about the incident. She forewarned her that she and Mr Rashid would arrange for her murder even if they were in custody if she dared to come clean to the police.
