Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado has told the High Court that he continued to support slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno even after their romantic relationship ended in March 2018.
Appearing before Justice Cecilia Githua for the second day of his defence, Obado revealed the intimate details and financial transactions between them in an emotional testimony.
The former county boss on Thursday, April 24, 2025, tendered personal text messages exchanged between him and Sharon, aiming to refute the prosecution's claim that he orchestrated her murder due to discomfort over her pregnancy. "I did not kill her.
I was still supporting her during the pregnancy and even after we broke up in February and March 2018 until she was killed," Obado said under re-examination by his lead counsel, Roger Sagana.
