Migori Governor Okoth Obado was charged among others as suspects in the murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno. [File, Standard]The prosecution team in Sharon Otieno’s murder trial have given an account of how the report of the alleged abduction and subsequent murder of the then 26-year-old expectant Rongo University student was made. “At the time of recording the report, he said his life had been threatened because of the allegations that Obado had impregnated the deceased (Sharon Otieno),” PC Okoti told the court. “Fearing for his life, he jumped out of the moving vehicle between Homa Bay town and Kendu Bay town then he escaped,” Okoti told Justice Cecilia Githua. Sharon Otieno’s body was found dumped at Kodera Forest in Homa Bay county a day after she went missing.
