A witness Wednesday testified that former Migori Governor Okoth Obado was not present when Sharon Otieno and her unborn child were killed on the night of September 3, 2018 in Homa Bay County.

Quinto Odek Etyang, a Safaricom employee, told Justice Cecilia Githua that tracking data from Obado's mobile phone showed he was in Nairobi from September 2 to September 5.

Obado, his personal aide Michael Oyamo, and former county clerk Caspal Obiero have been charged with the murder of Sharon and her unborn child.
