On December 18, 2019, a significant development occurred in the Sharon Otieno murder case. Lawyer George Wajackoyah, who had been representing the family of the late Sharon Otieno, was removed from the case.
Sharon Otieno, a student at Rongo University, was murdered in September 2018. Her family has been represented by lawyer George Wajackoyah, but he has been removed from the case.
The removal of Wajackoyah comes after he was accused of receiving confidential information from Governor Okoth Obado, who is one of the suspects in the case. The information was allegedly obtained during a meeting between Wajackoyah and Obado at the Gigiri Police Station on December 23.
According to the court, Wajackoyah had been in close contact with Obado for several hours, gathering information about the case. The court has expressed concerns that Wajackoyah's involvement in the case may have compromised its integrity.
Obado is one of the suspects in the Sharon Otieno murder case, along with Casper Obiero and Michael Oyamo. The case has been ongoing since September 2018.
