High Court To Rule Today On Okoth Obado’s Fate In Sharon Otieno Murder Case
Obado’s lead lawyer senior counsel Kioko Kilokumi asked trial judge Cecilia Githua to find that the former Migori governor has no case to answer.
The High Court will today make a ruling on whether former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused persons have a case to answer in the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.
Sharon and her unborn baby were killed on the night of September 3, 2018, in Homa Bay County.
The prosecution led by Gikui Gichui and Allan Mulama concluded its case against the accused last year (2024) with the testimony of investigating officer Moses Ole Sena.
A total of 42 witnesses testified in the six-year-old case.
Obado’s lead lawyer senior counsel Kioko Kilokumi asked trial judge Cecilia Githua to find that the former Migori governor has no case to answer.
The prosecutors asked the court to find that Obado, his former personal assistant Michael Oyamo and a former Migori county employee Caspal Obiero have a case to answer and should be put on their defence.
They presented evidence showing that Oyamo is the one who allegedly liaised with Sharon on the fateful day before she rode in a vehicle that drove her to the death field in Homa Bay.
Justice Githua is expected to make her ruling today.
