The family of Ms Sharon Otieno has put on hold the funeral plans indefinitely to wait for the conclusion of investigations into their daughter’s murder.
While speaking in a short interview Sharon’s parents Douglas Otieno and Melida Auma said, “We are not carrying out any burial preparations, we cannot talk much unless our lawyer divulges more information.”
The family has been attending court proceedings since Monday and waiting for longer hours to keep tabs on the investigation.
The post-mortem conducted revealed that the 26-year old student died of excessive bleeding.
According to the government pathologist Johansen Oduor there were strangulation marks on Ms Otieno’s neck and several bruises on her body, signs of the struggle and fight she gave before she succumbed to the injuries.
According to the framily lawyer Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma, stated that the burial will not take place until police arrest Sharon’s killers.
He further added saying, “Kenya is usually a forgetful country and the moment we bury Sharon Otieno, we will forget everything to do with her death.It is still pre-mature for the family to be enjoined in the case, we will wait until charges are levelled against the suspects is when we will seek to be enjoined,” said Mr Kaluma.
