Parents of slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno are still crying and hoping that justice will finally be served.
Sharon, a medical records student at the Migori based institution was found dead in a thicket in the nearby Homabay County early September last year.
This was after being reportedly abducted in Rongo Town days prior.
She was buried on October 19, bringing to an end a national debate which was fueled by the implication of her former boyfriend and Migori County Governor Okoth Obado in her killing.
Two months later, her parents Melida Auma and Douglas Otieno are still hoping for justice, Auma still hopes that her first-born's killers will pay for their bad deeds.
“My daughter’s death should not be in vain. It pains our hearts that things suddenly went silent, but we hope justice will finally be done and her killers will be made to pay for their sins,” Auma told the Nation, Wednesday.
Mr Otieno says that the death has affected him greatly, and drives him out of bed early every morning to go and watch over her grave, next to her late 7-month foetus.
“I usually wake up early at times at 4am to just go visit her grave. It satisfies me to know she and her baby lie beneath the soil,” he added at their home in Magare, Homabay County.
Two suspects implicated in the same, Caspal Obiero and Michael Oyamo, both of whom were close to the Governor remain behind bars pending the conclusion of investigations.
Obado is expected back in court in February after being released on bail from the Industrial Area Prison in October.
Sharon left behind three children.
Detectives confirmed that her unborn baby was a product of her romantic relationship with the Governor.
Obado has since distanced himself from the murder, despite heavy implication.
During his release by High Court judge Jessie Lesiit, he was ordered to among others, not go anywhere near Homabay County.
