Fresh Details details on Sharon Otieno’s murder case after Obado’s release emerge

Migori Governor and a suspect to student Sharon Otieno’s murder Okoth Obado might be free at  all. Now The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has revealed new details on Sharon Otieno’s murder case, after Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s release from jail.
According to DCI’s Head of Investigations John Kariuki, detectives had narrowed down their search to three suspects whom they believe are key to unravelling Sharon’s brutal murder.

He went on to say that the three are suspected to be hiding in neighboring Uganda and Tanzania and a search had been extended to the two countries but he could not divulge more details on the matter.

Nation reported that they are also believed to be the people who were in the car that was used to abduct slain Sharon and Journalist Barrack Oduor adding that they were present when Sharon was murdered.

“Expect arrests very soon, but I can’t divulge details now because some of this things are prejudicial and we can’t go anywhere if they are revealed,” said Kariuki.

The daily also reported that DCI Director George Kinoti confirmed that the search party had been extended to the two neighboring countries but refused to give further details.

“What I can say is that they won’t have any place to hide. We are on their trail,” said Mr. Kinoti.

This comes a day after Governor Obado was released on a Sh5 million cash bail after spending almost a month behind bars, for the murder of Sharon Otieno.

He actually spent another one night in remand after his lawer failed to file his release in time. In his realease the Judge ordered that his movements tightly regulated by the court, which also slapped him with a gag order prohibiting him from mentioning Sharon’s name.

Lady Justice Jessie Lesiit’s decision means the governor will be restricted to his Migori backyard, with the risk of being sent back to detention if he violates an order not to travel outside a 20-kilometre radius of his home.

“The court will be at liberty to cancel his bail terms if it is notified that the accused person has breached any of the conditions imposed,” ruled Justice Lesiit. It is the duty of a governor to be in charge of his county by going on foreign trips to seek partnerships and investment opportunities unlike Obado who will have to seek the court’s permission before making any such trips.

Will justice be ever served?Only time will tell.
