Obado is set to face sentencing on November 27 in the murder case of Sharon Otieno, a Rongo University student. The court hearing, presided over by Judge Cecilia Githua, has seen emotional moments as the victim’s parents plead for leniency. Sharon’s parents expressed forgiveness toward Obado, requesting that he avoid a custodial sentence.
During the proceedings, Sharon’s father, Douglas Zachariah Otieno, voiced his anger toward two of Obado’s co-defendants, Michael Oyamo and Casper Obiero. He described his frustration with Oyamo, who was Obado’s former personal assistant, and Obiero, a former county clerk. Otieno used strong language, comparing his feelings to a dog defending its owner.
The case has drawn attention for its emotional weight and the complex relationships between the accused and the victim’s family. While the parents have shown some forgiveness, the father’s public outburst highlights the tension surrounding the trial. The court will now determine Obado’s fate in the case.
