According to sources from Dubai, Waithera and Njiiri had been in a relationship and had broken up. Njiiri had thereafter tried to lure Waithera back but she was not giving in. Njiiri had also been threatening to kill the lady for the past one month.
Njjiri claimed that he had spent a lot of money to bring Waithera from Kenya to Dubai and seemed to want a relationship in return.
Waithera is said to have broken off the relationship and Njiiri saw this as a betrayal after he had brought her to Dubai.
Njiiri is siad to have snapped that fateful day walking into Waithera’s workplace beating her up and eventually stabbing her to death.
