Semen In The Condom Was Of Unknown Male Origin, Doesn’t Match Any Of The 3 Accused Persons: Obado/Sharon Case.
Government Chemist John Kimani Mungai has Wednesday revealed that Sharon Otieno’s unborn child was fathered by Migori Governor Zachary Okoth Obado.
The DNA profiles that were tested were generated from buccal swabs from Sharon Otieno, Michael Juma Oyamo, the foetus and Obado.
According to the chemist’s report, “there are 99.99 % + chances that Obado is the biological father to the donor of the DNA generated from the foetus.”
The report which was signed on the 11th of March 2020 also indicated that DNA samples collected from a blood-stained jumper jacket, trousers and open shoes, vaginal swab and brazier matched DNA generated from buccal swabs labelled Sharon Otieno.
Mungai through the report further said the DNA from the semen in the condom (six C) was of unknown male origin and doesn’t match any of the three accused persons.
On Tuesday, the second witness, Lilian Saka from the Department of the Criminal Investigation, in the murder hearing case of the Rongo University student took the stand and presented photographs to the court of how the bodies of the late Sharon and her unborn baby were allegedly discovered at the Kodera forest, in Homa Bay County.
