NAIROBI, Kenya - The sentencing hearing in the murder case of Sharon Otieno has been postponed following the family's request for a Dholuo interpreter. The High Court adjourned proceedings on Wednesday to accommodate the necessary arrangements for a translator, allowing the family to present their case before sentencing. The court is set to reconvene once the Dholuo interpreter is present, enabling the family to address the court before the sentencing.

Okoth Obado, his aide Michael Oyamo, and Caspal Obiero were convicted guilty in July for the murder of Sharon Otieno, a 26-year-old Rongo University student, whose body was found in Homa Bay County in September 2018.
