The prosecution is likely to close its case today against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and two other charges over the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.
The investigating officer Nicholas Ole Sena is the prosecution's 42nd witness.
He is expected to finish giving his evidence in the matter today.
The last time he was in court, Ole Sena said Obado was at Raila Odinga's residence in Karen and not at the scene of the murder of Sharon Otieno in Homa Bay as was initially believed.
He dismissed media reports that had initially indicated that Obado was at the scene.
He confirmed to trial Judge Cecilia Githua that he was in Karen from 5pm to 9pm.
His evidence corroborated Data records obtained from Safaricom and produced in court by one of their officers which shows that throughout the night of 2 September 2018 to 5 September 2018, Obado was in Nairobi.
Officer Quinto Odeo Etyang who gave his testimony on May 13 last year produced Safaricom records showing Obado at 1827hrs was captured in Nairobi.
“I confirm that throughout the night of 2nd going to third, the subscriber (Obado) spent his night in Nairobi,” said the witness.
The situation was the same till September 5.
The ex-county chief is among those on trial over Sharon’s murder and her unborn baby.
He has been charged alongside his personal Assistant Michael Oyamo and clerk Caspal Obiero over the murder that took place on 3 September 2018 in HomaBay County.
Results of a DNA test conducted on the fetus conclusively showed that Obado was the father of Sharon’s unborn child.
Ole Sena in his testimony before the court said they have no evidence that Obado was involved, or had knowledge or consent of Sharon's abduction.
There was also no evidence that Obado was involved in the abduction of the journalist who was in the company of Sharon on the night she met her death.
"The investigation was that the deceased was abducted and then killed. We don't have any knowledge or evidence that he participated in the killing of the deceased. ," said the I.O.
Separately, Justice Grace Nzioka is set to deliver judgements in two crucial counter-terrorism cases.
One of them is an appeal on the Westgate terror attacks involving Mohammed Ahmed Abdi and Hussein Hassan Mustafa.
The other is where three people were convicted and sentenced to serve 22 years in prison after being found in possession of explosives meant to lodge an attack on parliament buildings.
