NAIROBI (Halbeeg News) – Kenyan detectives have arrested a governor over the murder of a university student who killed early this Month.
Migori Governor Okoth Obado apprehended over the killing of his pregnant girlfriend Sharon Otieno this morning.
He was grilled for the second time by detectives at the headquarters of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Kiambu Road in Nairobi, sources say is expected to record a statement on the matter.
The development comes barely a day after tests matched Governor Obado’s DNA with that of the seven-month-old foetus Sharon was carrying at the time of her death.
The results revealed he was the father of Sharon Otieno’s baby boy who was ripped from Sharon’s womb on a fateful day.
“There are 99.9+% more chances that Zachariah Obado is the biological father of the donor of the DNA generated from the foetus that is Sharon’s child.
“Michael Juma Oyamo (the governor’s PA) is excluded as the biological father of the foetus,” the chemist’s report read in part.
The foetus died after Sharon was stabbed eight times while seven months pregnant
The governor has not denied siring the slain baby boy but he has denied having a hand in the woman’s murder.
Five other suspects— including Mr. Obado’s personal assistant Michael Oyamo, bodyguard Elvis Omondi and a clerk in the county Caspal Obiero— are in police custody over the gruesome murder that Nation journalist Barack Oduor escaped by a whisker.
The late Sharon was a second-year student pursuing a degree in Medical Records and Information at Rongo University.
