The High Court in Milimani, Nairobi, is set to hear submissions on sentencing for former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his two co-accused, Michael Juma Oyamo and Caspal Ajwang Obiero, following their conviction in the murder case involving Sharon Otieno.
The victim’s family has asked the court to consider the profound impact of her death on them, including the financial burden they have shouldered since September 3, 2018.
In their victim impact statement, the family said they had spent an estimated Sh1.2 million attending court proceedings and Sh3.5 million on funeral expenses. They also sought compensation, saying they lack the means to meet the immediate and future needs of Sharon’s children, siblings and ageing parents.
