It is feared that the knife used to stab her punctured a hole into her womb: Sharon was seven months pregnant at the time of her death.

Speaking to Citizen TV on Friday, the detectives sent from Nairobi to probe the case expressed shock over what they found at the crime scene.

“I have never seen anything like this in my life. It is very disturbing,” one of them who spoke on condition of anonymity told Citizen TV adding that several condoms were found where the body was discovered.

The officers also noted that they are in pursuit of four suspects linked to the abduction of Nation journalist Barack Oduor on Monday evening.

DNA samples have been collected from the suspect Michael Oyamo, PA to Migori Governor Okoth Obado, who has been adversely mentioned in the case.
