An officer attached to the Special Crimes Unit recreated the last moments of Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s girlfriend Sharon Otieno before she was killed. From a hotel in Rongo within Migori County where she was allegedly kidnapped to a forest in Oyugis within Homa Bay County where her body was discovered, chief inspector Lillian Saka walked the court through the evidence she collected as they tried to unravel the mysterious murder.

However, from her testimony, nothing suggested what might have happened to the deceased along the journey and no one knows what the alleged kidnappers did to her before her body was discovered in a forest more than 100km away from her home. A torn condom wrapper, two used condoms, an alcohol wrapper and a bottle top were some of the items Saka said she recovered from the point where Sharon was murdered before the body was taken to the mortuary.
