Former Migori Governor Zachary Okoth Obado and his two co-accused have been found guilty of the 2018 murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
The High Court convicted the trio on July 23, 2026, following a lengthy seven-year trial. The prosecution successfully argued that Obado orchestrated the killing in an attempt to conceal his relationship with Sharon.
Following the conviction, the court cancelled the accused persons' bond terms and ordered them to remain in custody pending sentencing.
The court has scheduled sentencing for August 18, when the three will learn their fate following the conviction in the high-profile murder case.
