Nairobi - Text messages between slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno and her alleged baby daddy have shed light on their relationship and pregnancy before she met her death.

The student's murder case in which former Migori governor Zachary Okoth Obado and his personal assistant Michael Oyamo are implicated has been ongoing at the Milimani Law Courts, and the recent proceedings revealed some of the messages she sent her unborn's baby's father.

Sharon Otieno's messages

During the Tuesday, July 25 court hearing, an officer from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations disclosed that Sharon had saved her lover as 'honey' in her phone and in their communication, she updated him about her pregnancy.

"It's there; I didn't terminate it. Your baby is kicking...it's as if he is playing football in my womb," she told the man in one of the messages read out in court as reported by Citizen TV.

'Honey' replied to her texts, warning her not to use the pregnancy to blackmail him.

“I'm not blackmailing you in any way. What's wrong with you? Whether you accept it or not, we are having a baby, it's a reality you can never escape from," Sharon said.

According to the DCI officer who took to the witness stand, his forensic analysis did not find any threatening messages sent to Sharon from the alleged baby daddy.

Witness reveals Sharon Otieno's demands to Obado

A week ago, a witness told the court that Sharon demanded a status befitting a governor's wife during her love affair with Obado.

A witness testifying in the proceedings of Sharon's murder case told the court that she had petitioned Obado to acquire her a KSh 20 million house either in Kisumu or Nairobi, a car, and monthly upkeep of some good KSh 5 million.

Sharon, who was expectant by the time of her murder, had also demanded KSh 200,000 monthly from the former governor for her prenatal care.
