Boda boda riders fought over Mwende as well

Ngila and Mwende were a regular couple struggling to make ends meet.

She operated a shop at Ilinge market, while her husband ran a tailoring shop at Masii market, the town which he had shifted to after their separation.

Residents recalled that their domestic tiff was a result of Mwende’s questionable ‘dealings.’ A neighbour said that Ngila had left Mwende a year before her attack, although she told the world that he had left their matrimonial home three months before the assault.

Ngila was reportedly fed up with his wife’s closeness to boda boda riders and a Somali man who had been trying to get her attention.

Sources told The Nairobian that it was the Somali man who had bankrolled Mwende’s shop at the village market and fingers were pointed towards his direction after a possible fallout. Could mwende be hiding something?

“She had not been forthright with the information she has been feeding the public. While we are sorry for the attack on her, it is evil to implicate an innocent person, yet she knows the truth,@ a relative off Ngila told The Nairobian.

“The Somali doubled as a business partner and provided everything for the shop which Mwende was operating. Beyond business, the closeness was questionable in the eyes of the public,” our source claimed.

The case against Ngila was set to be heard on February 27, 2017.
