The High Court convicted former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his former aide Michael Oyamo and former county clerk Caspal Obiero of Sharon Otieno’s murder on July 23, 2026. The three men were remanded after the convictions. In September, the court heard sentencing submissions and deferred its decision to November 27, 2026, according to local reporting.

What the court decided

The July 23 judgment found the three men guilty after the murder trial. This article summarizes the verdict and does not replace the court’s full reasons. The sentencing hearing addresses punishment after conviction; it is a separate step from deciding guilt.

What happens next

At the September hearing, the court considered submissions before deferring sentencing to November 27. That is the latest development verified for this update. Any sentence, appeal or later court order should be reported only after the court or reliable follow-up reporting confirms it.
