Slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno will be buried today at her grandfather’s home in Magare Village, Homabay County, even as her family continues to feel the pain of losing her.
Ms Otieno was murdered early last month by unknown people and her body dumped in Kodera Forest.
His father Douglas Otieno says it is very painful for them to have lost her.
“This is heavy for us. We will bury our daughter, but nothing will make us forget this pain. Every time I view her body and see what her killers did, it angers me. They were merciless,” he was quoted by the Nation as her body was being collected from the mortuary on Thursday.
Earlier, the family had indicated that she will not be buried until her killers are arrested and charged.
Mr Otieno is convinced that justice will be served.
“We have seen suspects connected to her murder arraigned in court. We are happy with the investigations so far and believe her killers will pay for their crimes,” he said.
Migori Governor Okoth Obado together with his aides Caspal Obiero, and Michael Oyamo have already been charged in connection to the murder of Ms Otieno.
The three will be back in court on October 24, where a ruling on their bail application will be delivered.
