The judgment in the 2018 murder case of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno is expected to be delivered today, Thursday, by the Milimani High Court.
Former Migori County Governor Okoth Obado, former Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo, and former Migori County Clerk Caspal Obiero are accused of killing the pregnant student.
The late Sharon was abducted on September 3, 2018, before her body was found a day later in Kodera Forest, Homa Bay County.
The Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), which has been at the forefront of representing the deceased’s family, stated that it wants justice served following the brutal murder.
According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, a total of 42 witnesses took the stand to testify during the hearing of the case.
The case sparked strong reactions from the public, non-governmental organizations, and human rights activists, who demanded justice for the deceased and severe punishment for all those involved.
