Jackton and Chiloba are believed to have had an altercation hours after crossing over into the new year together, leaving part of their apartment door broken.
Alex Nyamweya, the caretaker, said Jackton notified him that he wanted to vacate the premise and called him using the deceased's phone.
"Jackton called me saying they had found another apartment and were vacating...he was using Chiloba's phone. Later I found out I had been talking to Jackton and not Chiloba.
"They lived together for close to a year and I always thought they were siblings," he said.
Chiloba's decomposing body was later discovered along the Kapsaret-Kipkenyo road, stashed in a metallic box.
A look at his Instagram account depicts a man who loved life. In his last post, Chiloba recapped the year that was, 2022, highlighting some of the lessons he learnt.
"I have learnt not to give up and to accept the mistakes you have done. I have a big dream to see my works showcased in New York and to be a big fashion icon.
"I intend to build my brand in 2023 and inspire people to be the best version of themselves. I love to see people doing what they love, spreading love," he said.
