Slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno was previously married and had three children with her former husband. Daily Nation caught up with Sharon's ex-husband, Bernard Okuta who is a teacher at Rapogi High School in Uriri, Migori County.
Speaking to the newspaper, Okuta declined to shed more light about his broken marriage with Sharon, noting that her death was emotive and it was not the right time to speak about it.
Although he said her killers are known, he urged people to stop spreading rumors about her death and let police complete their investigations.
“This matter is too emotive for me to comment. If I wanted to comment about it, I would have done so long ago. I would rather leave the matter to the police and other investigators to find out what happened. That is all I can say,” the soft-spoken Okuta said.
“What the spokesperson of the family said about the family of the deceased is enough. I will not say anything. Please go and talk to the police for more information,” he said.
Okuta has been teaching at Rapogi High School for the last four and a half years after he graduated from the University of Nairobi with an undergraduate degree in education in 2013.
The two are said to have separated last year, a few months after Sharon enrolled for a course at Rongo University. They had a son and two daughters.
“The two separated a few months after Sharon joined Rongo University. They separated due to marital problems and Sharon relocated to her parents’ home,” said an employee at the school.
