Obado is set to face sentencing on November 27 in the murder case of Sharon Otieno, a Rongo University student. The court in Kenya has scheduled the hearing as the case moves toward its conclusion. Sharon’s parents have pleaded with the court to spare Obado from a custodial sentence, expressing forgiveness and requesting a non-custodial option.
During the trial, Sharon’s father, Douglas Zachariah Otieno, revealed his anger toward two of Obado’s co-convicts, Michael Oyamo and Casper Obiero. He described his frustration with their roles in the crime, even comparing them to dogs he would like to bite. Despite his bitterness, Otieno emphasized his forgiveness toward Obado, highlighting the emotional complexity of the case.
The court has been hearing arguments from both sides, with the family’s plea for mercy contrasting with the prosecution’s stance. Judge Cecilia Githua will determine the final outcome, balancing legal consequences with the emotional appeals made by the victim’s family. The case remains a focal point of public interest, reflecting broader tensions around justice and reconciliation in the community.
