Witness: Obado had no intention to kill
A former Homa Bay County MCA yesterday revealed former Migori Governor Okoth Obado had shared with his family that he impregnated the late Sharon Otieno.
Lawrence Mula who was being cross-examined yesterday in the murder trial against Obado claimed that the former governor had no intention of killing Sharon and her unborn child.
The former MCA said everything had been settled and he did not see the reason why the former governor would want to kill Sharon as he always supported her.
Justice Cecelia Githua heard that although Obado was not sure whether the unborn child was his, Sharon had agreed to conduct a DNA test once she delivered the child.
Mula further revealed Sharon had sent a baby bump photo to one of Obado’s son who she was friends with on facebook.
“She called Dan on WhatsApp and asked him to send it to his mother…Obado had already shared with his wife about Sharon,” he told the court.
Obado was charged in 2018 alongside his Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo, and Casper Obiero, a clerk in Migori County with the murder of the Rongo University Student and her unborn baby.
On Wednesday, the former MCA narrated to court how Sharon demanded a Sh25 million house and another Sh5 million for upkeep from Obado.
Mula revealed how the deceased desired to live a glamorous life after getting pregnant for the former governor.
The court was told how Sharon wanted to be recognised as the governor’s wife as she was carrying his child.
Mula said the late Sharon also wanted a good car befitting a governor’s wife. The MCA who acted as liaison person between the former Governor and Sharon had also revealed that how Sharon told him she wanted Sh20 million -Sh25 million for the house, a car and money for upkeep.
