What you need to know:

  • Sharon Belyne Otieno, who attended Rongo University, was stabbed eight times while seven months pregnant with Migori Governor Okoth Obado's child.
  • On Friday, her relatives attended a short prayer service at their home in Magara village, Homa Bay, in her honour.
  • They pleaded with the courts to fast-track the hearings so that the matter is put to rest.

It has been two years since university student Sharon Otieno was brutally murdered and her body dumped in a thicket in Oyugis, Homa Bay County, but her killers are yet to be brought to book.

Sharon had been missing for a while when her body was found on September 4, 2018.
