“She came happily welcoming him, I was inside listening to them, the moment she opened the door, I heard her shouting and I quickly came out and saw him with a knife.

“He attempted attacking me also but I ran away and that’s when people gathered because they saw him going out suspiciously. He threw the knife outside and ran away.

“She (the deceased) used to visit him whenever she had a bad nightmare about him. The last time she went there, he chased her and she ran to hide in a room while he was held by people. The last time she went to see him was during the month of Ramadan.”
