Kenyan Governor, Obada Charged for Murder of Pregnant Girlfriend
Kenyan governor Okoth Obado has been charged in court with aiding and abetting the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, a pregnant student.
The married governor who was arrested following weeks of public anger after the body of Sharon Otieno, 26, was found in a forest pleaded not guilty to the charge.
According to Kenya's Standard newspaper, a post-mortem revealed Ms Otieno had been raped, and stabbed eight times in the neck, abdomen and back. She lost her unborn child during the attack.
Obado, the governor of Migori County, has been remanded in custody, pending the outcome of his bail application on Tuesday.
In an earlier statement, Kenya's chief prosecutor Noodin Haji said he had also given instructions for two of Mr Obado's aides to be charged - one for murder and the other for aiding and abetting murder.
"Sharon and her unborn baby lost their lives in a gruesome and horrifying manner in the hands of her killers. My office is therefore committed to ensuring that all the perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to book and subjected to the due process of the law," Mr Haji added.
