The Court of Appeal upheld a lower court's ruling which sentenced the murder convict to death. He was “relaxing” in the car, when he saw Eric Ochieng carting away a motorcycle that had been parked outside one of the homesteads. On that day (February 28, 2014), Eric had gone to his girlfriend’s house unannounced, and found Kevin had parked his boda boda outside the woman’s house. The chairperson of Mbita boda boda riders’ association told the court that his pleas to Oduor to spare the suspect went unheeded. In June 2016, the High Court in Homa Bay found Oduor guilty of murder, and sentenced him to death.
