The governor who has been linked to an illicit love affair with Sharon Otieno, who was murdered and the body dumped in a thicket, wanted her to procure an abortion.
The family of Sharon said they were aware of a disagreement between the politician and their daughter over her pregnancy.
Sharon was a student at Rongo University and involved herself in a romantic affair with the county boss whose Personal Assistant has been arrested in connection with the murder.
A journalist who had been abducted together with the deceased said the PA was the one who lured them into the hands of the perceived hitmen.
At the centre of the murder is seen as the girl's pregnancy which threatened to expose the governor's amorous ways.
The man is a church elder.
Sharon's mother said her girl had confided to her that the governor was pushing her to kill the unborn baby.
“Sharon told me that she was expecting the governor’s child but the governor wanted her to abort. I told her not to do so” Melinda Auma, Sharon's mother, said.
The brave act of the journalist to jump off a speeding car has become vital in shedding light on those who hired killers to shut off the university girl's life as well as that of the unborn baby.
