The trial of Migori Governor Zachary Okoth Obado over the murder of Sharon Otieno and her unborn child entered day three at Milimani law courts on Wednesday.
The court heard that Obado, who is the prime suspect in the murder case, was the biological father of Sharon’s unborn baby.
Obado is charged alongside his Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo and Migori County Clerk Caspal Obiero.
Forensic analyst at Government Chemist John Kimani Mungai said DNA profiles that were tested were generated from buccal swabs from Sharon, Oyamo, the foetus, and Obado.
He testified that from the examination, there are 99.99 percent chances that Obado is the biological father to the donor of the DNA generated from the foetus.
Mungai through a report signed on March 11th, 2020 also stated that the DNA from the semen in the used condom found at the scene was of unknown male origin and did not match any of the three accused persons.
On Tuesday, government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor told the court that Sharon suffered seven stab and two slash wounds.
The first stab wound was so severe that it went through her womb, leading to the death of the unborn baby. The foetus suffered stab wounds on its upper belly, the court heard.
Sharon, a second-year student at Rongo University, disappeared on September 3rd, 2018 in Migori and was found dead near Kodera Forest two days later.
Governor Obado confessed he was in a love affair with the 26-year-old mother of three.
Hearing of the murder case continues on Thursday.

Ok! Obado sired and killed both the mother and the baby! Only an animal can kill two people after having sex with the mother! Maybe Obado is an animal!

It is a too good a word…
It is a too good a word given to one who sired and then participated in foetus murder. Even animals do not do that. Please respect the animals.
Ihope some day,my religion…
Ihope some day,my religion SCIENCE will discover a sure way to a 99.99% accuracy of determining,”who is lying”.
We see even in courts criminals who are caught in the act saying ” Iam not guilty,have done nothing wrong’and shockingly some get off the hook.
Yes days of lying and getting away with it hopefully shall one day be athing of the past;much like denying paternity today is…
And those who believe in Son of Mariam as@ Ndugu Imara ndaima appropriatly states it,should beg the son to plead with his Father so that the “Ananias doctrine” could be reinstated. That would solve alot of problems in the world. You lie,you are caught up in the lie you fall down and die.No exspensive tax payer drawn out legal battles ,dragging the court system here.And its instant and effective justice.
Comrade Maxiley,
Even better…
Comrade Maxiley,
Even better ..remember Hammurabi the Lawgiver?
An eye for an eye.

Obado killed the mother and the kid! He must confess to these two murders. He is guilty of this crime!

Bc of a constitution made by liberals who don’t fear God. Can’t have ya cake and eat it. Every offence is bondable.
The state should cut a deal…
The state should cut a deal with Obado’s accomplices. They can then testify against him and get lighter sentences. Then Obados’s goose would be cooked.
In the eyes of the public…
In the eyes of the public Obando is guilty as charged.
We all know that he played a role in the case….
Problem is, the court will have a hard time proving that he did pay someone to kill her.
DNA shows that he was the father, but the other DNA doesn’t place him at the murder scene…UNKNOWN MALE DNA…
My question is was the DNA COMPROMISED?
OR DID OBANDO PAY PEOPLE TO RAPE AND MURDER SHARON?
OBANDO KEEPS CLAIMING THAT HE LOVED THIS GIRL.
THE ONE WAY THE COURT WILL WIN IS HAVING ONE OF THE ACCOMPLICES FLIP ON OBANDO.
@ Comrade Kora Kanini, its…
@ Comrade Kora Kanini, its obvious some individuals are protecting him.They are frustrating justice because they are not cooperating.Probably pressing their nuts might elicit confession.
The big question is, why would someone want to carry Obado’s cross? Were they fooled to think that he was too big and powerful to be punished,and that he would protect them?
Yes, as you said it,” the court will have a hard time proving that he did pay someone to kill her”.And ofcourse theyare banking on this notion. Ihope that some of the players in this murder case would empathize with the victim and her family,and have a change of heart,and offer evidence to support the prosecution side.
As Kenyans, we appear to be…
As Kenyans, we appear to be creatures from another planet when it comes to the way we treat our politicians. Even with undisputable incriminating evidence, Obado will still be voted back in.
Good thing he cannot run…
Good thing he cannot run again in 2022 (its the law) otherwise ignorant hoi polloi would vote for him. But its not just Kenyans always shooting themselves in the foot. Look at South Africans burning their country for a man who looted from them.
And yet he is not in custody…
And yet he is not in custody almost 3 years later and continues to collect a paycheck paid for by those he doesn’t serve
To all men,myself included…
To all men,myself included,let this be alesson to all of us.All these, killing,and the mess attached to it could have been avoided,only if Obado had been faithful to his wife,and used the big head instead of the small head,chasing ndogo ndogo. When are men going to learn that side chicks are nothing but trouble. Yes some of you may point here and there showing “safe” side chicks,but as a general rule,the end result is not good for both,but particularly for the man.
What I have said here is of course not new,but its worth repeating.You may ignore the admonition,but certainly you will not ignore the consequences.I am sure Obado had many times hopped that it was a bad dream,and would wake up and thank his stars that it was adream,but unfortunately for him,its a terrible reality brought about by his bad decision.Now he has to face the music.It was a self inflicted wound.
What is that @maxiley!? …
What is that @maxiley!? “Faithful”? I looked the word up in the dictionary but I could not find it in regard to Kenyan men! They all have two heads – and the small head is normally used to think – most of the time when a woman shows up!
@ Ruhiu, neither I nor the…
@ Ruhiu, neither I nor the the law can stop Kenyan men from chasing skirts.All Iam saying is that deliberately ignoring danger signs is not wise.Too risky to assume that you are immune.No human being is immune to consequences of bad decisions.Worse, you drag innocent family members,and friends,in to the shame.No child wants to hear that his father impregnated a teenage girl,and they had fight with mama over it…or even the unthinkable that mzee is alleged to have killed the girl…You get the drift.
Ndugu Maxiley. Umesema…
Ndugu Maxiley. Umesema kweli kabisa.
Ndugu Kora Kanini, Neno “Ndugu” si sawa na neno “Comrade.” Nimeona kwenye maandishi yako hapa, umeanza kuniita mimi pamoja na Ndugu Maxiley, “comrade!”
I was under the impression…
I was under the impression that Kora Kanini,is you using the word as “My friend” is used in english,or as camarade in French.I dont know what I have to do to elevate myself to brotherhood status… my be time,and seniority will do.
@Maxiley, thats the reason-…
@Maxiley, thats the reason- seniority. Kora Kanini aka little frog may have to change to “Kīura Kīnene” aka Big Frog so you can be all ‘ndugus” ?
Either way I hope the three of you with Ndugu Imara will treat this crucial issue with the seriousness it deserves.
