On Tuesday, Jackson Otieno Sombe appeared before the Senior Resident Magistrate Joy Wesonga for the first time since his arrest and detention at Migori Police Station.

The Magistrate ordered police to continue holding the suspect to allow detectives continue with investigations over the murder of Sharon.

Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s personal assistant Michael Juma Oyamo and former Kanyadoto MCA Lawrence Mula are also in police custody.

Sharon’s lifeless body was found dumped near River Owade in Obisa village in the outskirt of Oyugis Town.

She had been reported missing after apparently being abducted in Migori alongside Nation journalist Barrack Oduor.

A pathologist report later revealed that she had been stabbed eight times and the foetus in her womb killed in the attack.
