Records indicate that Patrick Murathimi Mutugu sent money on diverse dates to the four individuals to orchestrate the hate crime with malicious intent to get back to his ex-wife.

The victim was the mother to the ex-wife.

He has hired lawyer Danstan Omari to represent the four suspects.

On February 14th 2024, three suspects trailed the victim from her work-place and into a restaurant along Thika Road. They waited for her to finish her meal and then trailed her as she went back home.
