Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado has been convicted of the murder of university student Sharon Otieno, leading to his remand after nearly eight years on bail.

• Obado along with his former personal assistant Michael Oyamo and former Migori County Clerk Caspal Obiero were found guilty of murder.
• The conviction transformed Obado's legal status from an accused awaiting trial to a convicted murderer.
• Justice Cecilia Githua ordered the three men remanded pending sentencing after cancelling Obado's Sh5 million cash bail.
