The High Court has ruled that former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and two others have a case to answer in connection with the murder of former university student Sharon Otieno.
Justice Cecilia Githua found that Obado, his personal assistant Juma Oyamo, and Migori County Clerk Casper Obiero have a case to answer, ruling that the prosecution has presented enough evidence to require them to mount a defense.
Justice Githua, however, acquitted Obado and his co-accused of the killing of Sharon's 28-week-old unborn baby.
While placing the three on their defence the judge said that all the 42 witnesses have presented evidence linking them with the abduction and subsequent killing of Sharon in Homabay County The judge found that it is proper to place the three on their defence in respect of count one.
