The Real-Life Parasite — Stranger Than Stranger Things (Thecla Ekeh)
The program
She went missing, and at first, it didn’t look like a crime. It didn’t look like a typical missing person case.
But the deeper people looked, the more everything pointed back to someone close, Ediri Igbudu. Not a stranger. Not a random encounter. Someone who had access, trust, and time.
What began as concern slowly shifted into a full murder investigation, raising questions about trust, access, and what really happened behind closed doors.
This episode breaks down the Ediri Igbudu case, the disappearance of Thecla Ekeh (Tecla), and the disturbing details that turned it into one of the most talked-about true crime cases in Nigeria. A story of deception, proximity, and a truth that refused to stay hidden.
Welcome to mystery snija I'm your host Esther there's a Korean film called parasite the film follows the Kim family, who are struggling financially, and the wealthy park family. The Kim slowly infiltrate the park household, each taking up roles as employees through deception. What starts the clever hustle turns into something dark when they discover that there is a another hidden family living secretly in the houses bunker. Tensions escalate between poverty and privilege, lies and survival, and before you know it, the story spirals into violence ending in tragedy.
What makes the story unsettling isn't just what happened, it's how ordinary everything looked before it happened. The most dangerous situations aren't obvious. They don't start with chaos. They don't start with drama. They start with something that feels controlled, familiar, even safe. And that brings us to this case, the case of Thekla Ek, a situation that began with kindness and ended with betrayal. Before we get into it, first disclaimer. This episode discusses real events involving violence and loss of life.

Thank you. Now let's get into today's case. There is this family from Inuga State known as the UK family. They lived in Lagos. The family consisted of the father, the mother and four children, a son and three daughters. They moved to Lagos to Jagunle because people moved to big cities to find better fortunes and hope that the grass is greener over there. It was same with the family. They relocated to Lagos and tried to hustle and work their way to good fortunes. This family were from the southeast and they're very entrepreneurial.
They believe in business, they're investors, they're business minded and they're hard workers. And they also have this familial bond that they believe in family loyalty. They believe in blood is thicker than water. They believe in you can only trust family ideals like that. And they also believe that if one person in the family makes it, everyone else in the family will make it. And this is a believe or value that they hold so highly that even when they travel outside the country to other parts of the world, they still believe in this ideation.
They believe in family is only who you can trust. If they want to start a business, they want to have people support them by running the business or investing in the business with them. They would rather do it with family, even if it means having to sponsor a family to come over. So basically, they always build a great bond with family members. And it's really sometimes hard to let outsiders into into that family or into the bond. Yes, they could be nice to you. Yes, they could be kind to you. But because they ultimately trust family the most, it takes a lot for an outsider to gain that same level of trust from them.
But if you gain the level of trust from them, believe me when I say you will be a member, a true member of that family. They will have you at the center of the heart and they will love you like every other member of that family. So in today's, in this case, the parents were located to Lagos. They moved to Ajagunle, which is the mainland, which is the busiest part of Lagos. That's where the hustling and the bustling goes on. And the island is where you come to experience a little bit of convenience.
Mostly the mainland has lots of companies, businesses, factories and life there is like a blip, you blink and it would pass you by and life is super fast. You always have to play catch up. You always have to keep working to afford survival. I did talk a little bit about life in Lagos, especially on the island in the Clifford Orgy case. If you haven't listened to that, you should go listen to that. It will give you much insight as to how difficult life can be in Lagos. So the mainland is where most people move to because lots of companies, factories, businesses, so it's easier to gain employment and rent is cheaper and landlords are more likely to allow multiple people live in the same apartment.
You know, living arrangement. But on the island, less job employments because less factories, less companies and businesses because those are all on the mainland and the traffic to commute from the island to the mainland to work is insane. So if you have up on the mainland, it's best to live on the mainland and the island has more of hotels, resorts, beaches and eateries and all those places you go to spend money. And that's also where you can get employment if you're looking for a job. Accommodation is more expensive living situation.
The property development on the island is a bit more segregated, a bit more organized and a bit more safer in a sense that there are lots of estates, lots of, you know, closed community where there's only one entrance into the community and only one exit. And it would cost more money to live in a community like that compared to living elsewhere where it's just someone who owns a piece of land, builds a house and rents it out to people. Because in the communities, there's the security workers, and it gives it a sense of safety.
So you pay more for that. But most times some of these communities don't exactly look posh and expensive because some property developers would just buy the plot of land, sell the plot of land to to private owners and these owners would build whatever property they want on the land. So it's quite easy and normal to have a mansion stand next to a bungalow, which in turn stands next to a non competed building. But ultimately overtime it will be a nicely developed community. Meanwhile some other communities the developers will build townhouses or villas and have it fully finished.
And the roads are nice, there's a park there, their amenities, and then they start to sell and to rent to residents. And laces like that really cost a lot. And this will tie back to the story in a minute. So Tekla's family, the mother, the father, the brother Justice, the eldest sister, Linda, Tekla herself and their baby sister, Prisca, they all moved to Ajegunde on the mainland in Lagos, which I don't know where that is. I don't know what it looks like because I've never been there. But yeah, they moved there.
And the mother was a nurse, which over time, she starts a small clinic where she provides, you know, health saving measures to people who need medical help or assistance. When they moved to Ajagunle, the younger brother, Justice, was a young child just like the rest of them, teenagers and little kids and stuff. Around the age of 13 or 14, Justice makes friend with a guy called Adiri Igbudu. They started to hang together. They played around together, and they basically just grew up together. Adiri would visit the house ever so often, hang with the kids in the family.
And it was just like, you know, a situation where you make friends with one person and suddenly instead of having one friend, you're having two friends or three friends because this friend always hangs with your sibling. If you want to hang with them, you're going to have to hang out with the sibling as well. So the siblings knew him. They all grew up around each other. Justice gets admission into the University of Imo State around 20/17/2018. So he moves to school, he studies, he graduates and he returns to Lagos to live with the rest of the family.
But before he's back from school to live with the rest of the family, the sister, Thekla started her own business. She started a phone accessory business where she sells phones, power bangs, chargers, headphones, earbuds and those stuff like that. All the phone accessories, phone cases and the rest, she was flourishing. The business was doing great because she had a good work ethic. She took her business very seriously. She worked hard and made sure that the business group and it was doing really, really well.
So overtime she decides, well, we're all living in a Jaguar again. Like I said, life is faster. It's a bit unsafe and all that. But if you want some safety, some convenience or even luxury, if you can afford it, mostly purchase, relocate to the island because it's the island. The connotation of the name alone gives you the impression that life is supposed to be better here, easier here, softer here, sweeter here, even though that's not really the case because certain things happened on the island as well.
I got mugged on the island. I've been to the mainland twice. I wasn't hurt by a fly. But again, it depends. Decla decided to get a place on the island and relocate her family there for a bit of convenience, a bit of comfort. She gets a place around Shingo Tudo area. That's where my explanation of the living arrangement on the island comes in. Because if you're moving from the mainland to the island, you're not moving to live in the same housing arrangement as you were living on the mainland. You come to the island for some safety, for some security, for some Peace of Mind.
So perhaps they moved into to someplace safer and convenient for them and the whole family lived together because they were close knit. Family Justice graduates from the University of Imo State in 2022 and he relocates back to Lagos to live with the family. He moves to the new place in Shango Tido. The sister would go to work every day. So he tells the sister, well, I am out of school, I don't have a job just yet, so how about I come help you, lend hand at your business, support you and just, you know, work for you, extra help, some labor, free labor.
The sister says, OK, because it's a brother, he's being a good baby brother. So he would follow the sister to work all the time and support her, help her in selling her accessories. And he was very honest and truthful with the sister, never tried to mishandle the business or mess around with the sister's business. So around this time he's back home, he's helping the sister, he's around his family, he's feeling maybe a little happiness of being around family again. And he feels like, oh, there's some, there's someone I'm missing, there's someone that's missing around here, someone that was always around us.
Oh, it's a theory, a theory when a juggling he would have come around by now. Let me call him and see what's happening, how he's doing because he's just fresh out of university. He's got potentials. The sky is the limit at this point. He's got skills, he's got a degree to back it up. So he's like, my life is about to get better. Thankfully, all it takes is 1 good job opportunity. But let me see how my buddy's doing. I mean, I haven't seen him for a while. So he phones Adiri, Hey, what's up? And Adiri goes, hi, life's heart, life's, life's punching me in the guts.
Life's mess sitting around with me. Life is bad. I, I don't know what to do. I mean, I mean, man, I got no skills. I mean, I got no skills. I got no job, I got no degree. I got nothing. That's messed up. So he's just complaining on and on about how life's punching him day in, day out, all day. The call ends. You know, they just catch up a bit. They call ends and then he goes to his sister. Hey, sis, can't Derry come live with us? Love's not treating him well. Can he come stay with us? He can help you with your business.
He can come to the store with us and help us sell your accessories. Making it sound like she's running a whole factory. It's a factory where she's producing those tests when factoring them herself. So she's like, hello, this is a small business. I don't need all that help. You're really helping me. Besides, before you came along, I was doing just fine with my business. Your help is like break time for me, but it's nothing I can't handle. So I don't need his help. He can't come, he can't come stay with us and he can't come help me with the business.
I'm doing just fine, thank you. Justice is feeling not satisfied because because he still really wants to help his friend. So he goes to their dad and talks to the dad. Please help me convince our sister Tecla to let Adiri come stay with us. And the dad thought about it. Adiri grew up with my children. He was always in and out of their home, grew up with the kids, ate with the kids, played around with them. He considered him another son. So he went to the daughter and together with Justice they talked to Thickela until they were able to convince her to let Adiri come stay with them.
Justice happily skips to the phone and tells Adiri hey, come over, she's agreed. You can come stay with us and you can help with the business, the whole spiel. Adiri moves in with them and starts helping Thickela with the business. Two months after being back from school, Justice had applied for some roles at different businesses, different companies to get employment. And one of the places he applied for was an international brewery in Ogun State. He was called for an interview. He goes for the interview, he aces it, He gets the job and he moves out and moves to Ogun State to start the job.
After some time, he calls back home to, you know, check on the family. It's been a few months at this time. He calls the family to check on them, how they're doing and how is everyone doing. And he also calls Adiri and speaks. How's things going? How are you with the family? You know, just to get filled in on what's been going on since he's absent. And there is just like, yeah, everything's fine. We're doing OK. What about you? And it's like, oh, man, you won't believe it. I'm, I'm great. My job's great.
I love my job. And the pay is amazing. I'm actually earning 400,000 naira a month. Most people go to school, work hard, serve the country for a year and they would earn about 70,000 naira a month. So just fresh up of school, earning 400,000 naira, pretty decent money. So he tells Adiri he wasn't even telling Adiri to flaunt or to make him feel jealous or to make him feel less than he told Adiri. Yeah, I'm making this much, but I'm thinking of talking to my boss. I'm really close to him. I can talk to him about employing you too.
And you could be earning this much too, you know, instead of him working for the sister, getting some allowance, he could be making decent money for himself. So Justice tells Adiri, speak to my boss, I'll see if I can get you employed here. We'll work together and we'll make money together. If I'm succeeding, you're going to be succeeding. Because that's how kind they were. He didn't want Adiri to feel beneath them or less them, and he made good on his promise. He went to the boss, talked to the boss about Adiri, and succeeded in getting Adiri an interview.
Happily, he called Adiri. Hey, pack your things. Prepare to come to a good state for an interview. I secured you an interview. Adiri was happy. Justice was happy, happier, even happier than the person who's about to get the employment. On the agreed day for the interview, Adiri makes its way to Laguna State. Before the interview, he meets with Justice at the company the brewery. Justice told him, Well, I'm going to be busy. I won't have access to my phone. I'm not going to be reachable until the end of work day.
Once you're done with your interview, this is the address to my house and get into the apartment. Make yourself comfortable. I'll meet you at the end of the day when I'm home from work. The day's over, he makes his way home. No idea. So it's like what happened? Where is he? Did he get lost finding his way here? So he immediately called it Diri and he was like, oh, actually I had to go back to Lagos right away. It was an emergency. It was immediate. I had to go back and tell your sister to start looking for someone else who's going to help her with the business because I got the job at the interview.
I got the job. I've been employed to work there with you. So I had to rush over to Lagos and tell your sister that she you need to find someone else to work for her. So justice was like, oh, OK, that's great. That's that's really good. I'm happy for you. A few days go by, a week goes by, more weeks go by and now it's the next month. Adiri isn't back in August state to resume his work. So he's wondering what's going on. When did they agree for him to resume work? He's just waiting to see what happens.
One day in that month, his younger sister called him and told him, Hey, sister Sekhla, one of her friends just called me. The friend told me that when they called the claw, they heard a male voice in the background. They know the friend is telling the younger sister. When I called my friend your sister's like claw, I was speaking to her, but I heard a male voice in the background and it didn't sound like a fiance that she's engaged to marry soon. It sounds like a strange person, someone that I really don't know.
So what's going on? The sister didn't know who that was, so she called Justice to tell. Do you know who that could be? Justice was like I, I don't know, let me call her and find out. So Justice called Decla and she wasn't responding. So she called Adiri because Adiri had gone back to Lagos. Remember to tell Decla that she should find someone else to work for her. He called Adiri and was like what's up? Do you know anything about this? I heard she was cold and they heard a male voice. I was strange.
Do you know anything about it? And he said actually I don't know, I don't know. So Justice was like where is she? I've been trying to call her, I can't reach her. And he said, well, your sister came home the other day and he just rushed in. She rushed in? Yeah. She got a few personal item and she just travelled. I don't know what she travelled to. She didn't say anything to me. She didn't. She didn't. She didn't say nothing. She didn't acknowledge. Man, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, man.
I don't know. Justice is like. That's strange. OK, OK. He tried reaching the class over and over and over again and couldn't. So now he's getting worried. He called her fiance. Where's my sister? Have you heard from her? I heard this from my sister who heard this from her friend about a male voice, did nothing about it and the friend said the voice didn't sound like you. So clearly the friend knows you and knows what you sound like because it didn't sound like you. I called Adiri and he has no idea what's going on.
Do you have any idea what's going on? And the fiance was like I have no idea. I've also been trying to reach her. I can't reach her. I don't know what's going on. Justice called Adiri. Hey, the fiance has no idea where she's been. We've been trying to reach her. We don't know. You're like family in the same house as my sister. Can you go to the station, tell the police that my sister's missing and file a missing person report please? And Diri said well I spoke to a lawyer and the lawyer told me that only family members can file missing persons reports so can help you spoke to a lawyer.
Why do you have to speak to a lawyer? You know personally I'm asking why do you have to speak to a lawyer? Do you just go around asking lawyers, is it OK to file this in person report because someone I'm living with is missing and oopsie, I don't want to look strange or sound strange, but am I, am I required to do that? Nobody does that. Just as a thinker. This is strange. He takes permission off work and he travels back to Lagos and when he arrives, he asks them, Adiri, tell me again, what did you say happened?
Because according to my family, the day she went missing, she went to my mom's clinic with my younger sister, Priska. They went to the clinic for some hours, then Tecla brushed home and said she needed to grab something at home but she never made. Back. And no one's seen her ever since. What happened? And he told the brother, well, I did see her that night when she came from the clinic. She was headed home and I was heading out, you know, So we sort of met each other in the street. Met each other in the street.
Yeah. And she was headed home. I was heading out and I was just dead. But I don't know what she did at home. But I know that she traveled after that, so I don't know. And the, the brother was like, that's inconsistent. You know, in his mind, it's like that's not adding up because I just arrived. I was spoken to my sister's fiance. And the story I told him was different. You know, he's thinking all these things in his mind, the stories are not adding up. According to report, when the fiance spoke to Adiri and asked about the sister, he told the fiance that actually Thickler came home.
He was home. She got home, she rushed in, she grabbed her her perfume bottle, she grabbed her deodorant, you know the roll on kind, and she grabbed her phone charger, put it in a bag and rushed out. When Justice heard this on the fiance, he's thinking that's unreal, that doesn't make sense. My sister doesn't leave her stuff out in the open. She has her own room in the house. Those things would be in her room in the apartment. Diri had recounted that these things were in the living room, you know, the lounge room.
And he's thinking, my sister never, ever, ever leaves her stuff out there. It's always in her room. Because, you know, as siblings, especially if you're one of the eldest siblings, you've gotten to the age where you would rather cuff out money and buy quality stuff, which is something I'm getting around to. Before I was more about quantity when I was younger, but the older you get, the more you prioritize quality over quantity. Now, the younger ones in the house will still prioritize quantity over quality.
So as an elder sibling, when you have quality stuff, you don't leave it out in the open way. It's like communal property things like perfume bottle that's going to be expensive and smells delicious and like seriously expensive. No elder sibling is going to leave that in the lounge room where the younger ones can just walk in and bathe themselves from head to toe with it. So the idea that she left that with her deodorant in the lounge room and he was thinking, my sister never ever does that. She doesn't do that.
He goes to speak to neighbors about the day. Did you see anything? Did you hear anything? And they, they told him that actually that day when Thickela was back, one, one of the neighbors that has a store told the brother, according to report, she actually stopped by at her shop and they spoke for a while and Thickela actually told this neighbor and David was embezzling from her. He was busy stealing from her. And she, she wanted to do something about it that she, she wasn't happy about him just constantly stealing from her business.
And whenever people bought stuff, I needed to make card payment. He would always request for transfers and he would give the customers his account number. So she's losing stock, but she's not seeing the money. And eventually she realized that it was him. She said she was planning to confront him about it and tell him that she doesn't want him working for her anymore. She would have done that before now, but because their eldest sister, Linda, at the time was diagnosed with cancer, and she has to focus on her sister.
She can't fire him yet because she has to, you know, always go to the medical centers with her sister, help with her treatment and all the commuting and stuff. And she also need her store to be open. So she was going to do it later. But for now, she wanted to focus on her sister. But she knows he's stealing. So in the meantime, she was thinking of reporting him to a police officer and the police officer would threaten to arrest him without actually arresting him to show how nice these people are.
Something you do to teenagers, to rebellious teenagers, this is something you do with a child, a teenager. She was going to ask this officer to threaten to arrest him just to scare him into being honest with her and her business. So she tells the neighbor this. That is what she's thinking. It is what it is. And she goes to the house and a neighbor never saw her again. But you know who the neighbors told they saw a theory. He came out few hours later and he started buying cleaning supplies, buying like air freshener, bleach and stuff like that.
And he took it home. He was out again with a sack bag, you know, like a bag that you take to the market and he would take a bike out, come back in 10 minutes, grab another bag and then leave be back in 10 minutes. And he did that a couple of times. People didn't really understand what was happening because you never, ever guessed that something nefarious is happening. When you see someone just transporting bags, maybe you think they're moving their stuff out or you try to disregard it. So no one really paid attention to him or even reported it until later on when the family asked about that evening if they saw something or heard something.
And the same neighbor that the sister spoke to, you know, the one with the store, ended up telling the brother. Oh, actually, I saw this, others saw this. So you guys should be looking into him more after hearing all of this Justice and the fiance, they're starting to look at Adiri as a suspect. Prior to this, they didn't. Yes. His story wasn't making up, making sense. You know, sometimes your mind rejects the truth. It rejects it and tries to make up a different reality just to comfort you, just to protect you.
At this point, it's clear that he has something to do with the sister's disappearance. So they call the police, police comes, they recount everything to them and they take Adiri to the station for his statement and after all the information and everything he was booked while they investigate further to see his involvement in the case. When the police looked into Adiri, they realized that two days after the club went missing, money was withdrawn from the class account on three different occasion and the money was withdrawn to Adiri Ibudu's account.
They found out was they told the younger sister, can you go request from the bank your sister's bank statement? Because she was the. What's the word again? Next of kin? Yeah, that's the word. She was the sister's next of kin. And the sister is missing. No one knows what's happening. So the bank gave her the bank statement and she took to the police and that's when they realized that on three different days her money was transferred from the class account to ADR's account. So now it's very he did something to her for monetary purposes or monetary benefits.
So the family, they still don't know if they should believe him or push back and insist that he knows something about the sister disappearance. Now this is taking a toll on the family, the mother, the sister, but they still don't know exactly what happened to their sister. On the 17th, Justice returns home from again, trying to find answers to what happened to the sister. And he sees neighbors gathered around his house. And he's wondering what's going on. It's not today that the news broke out that my sister was missing.
Why are people gathered here like, many days later? So he goes towards the house and the neighbors came to him and started pouring in their condolences. We're so sorry. Oh, we're so sorry. Except her condolences. And he's like, what's going on? And they told him, well, Adiri confessed that he hurt my sister or he's hiding her somewhere. What? What did he, what did he confess about? He rushes in. He calls the officers at the station. Just heard from neighbors that Adiri confessed. What did he say?
According to reports, allegedly the police told him confession. Confessed about what? Adiri who? No, we've not heard anything from that guy. That's a confession. That's rumors. He was like, OK, it's just rumors that one person started. So he dismissed it. On the 19th, he gets to call him a station. Can you come in and write a statement about everything? So he goes to the station, he writes a statement about everything, how everything happened, how he found out about this appearance and everything he knew.
The reason he wrote the statement was because the officers told him Adiri has confessed to hurting his sister, so we need your statement about everything. So he goes in and he writes his statement about everything he knew so far, including that Adiri confessed to hurting his sister on the 19th. Now, the officers who were there while he wrote his statement saw that and they asked him why you're writing the 19th. Your it already didn't confess today. He confessed. He confessed on the 17th 2 days ago and Justin was like no, he didn't confess 2 days ago.
He confessed today. That's what I was told because I heard rumors. He confessed 2 days ago. I called here and they told me that no he didn't. So according to report, allegedly the officers told him no, actually he confessed 2 days ago. Now the family was worried. Why were we told a different story? What's happening is someone trying to pull the strings to save him and protect him. So the police, they take Adiri to show them where he disposed of the victim and he took them to a Bush, showed them where he disposed of the victim and she was seen in pieces.
He had cut up the victim and she was retrieved. She was taken to the morgue to be autopsy. The family of deceased were told to pay a certain amount of money for DNA testing to confirm her identity. Which I'm wondering, was it that decomposition had started that it was impossible to identify her physically? Or what really happened there that they needed ADNA testing to verify her identity? But at this time the family didn't have that kind of money to pay because it was expensive and they already had a sister who was battling cancer.
It's expensive to battle cancer, we all know that. So they didn't have a cup of money to pay for the testing and it just left this sour taste in everyone's mouth. Isn't this something the government should budget for and pay for because the victim's family deserve answers? I'm ignoring about such situations so I have no say in it if it's right for the family to pay out of pocket for this testing or if government should be paying for things like this. I have no idea and I don't know any legal way to voice my opinion about it so I'm just going to gloss over it.
A theory was arraigned and taken to court and there's trials and we're still waiting for the final verdict to know what his punishment will be. And hopefully he gets the capital punishment because what he did was it was very, very gruesome. How do you take a family's kindness and just turn around and stab them in the bag? Now, when people looked into the case further, according to report, allegedly he had rented a new apartment with the sister's money, all the money he had stolen from her. He had gotten his own place and was planning to move out.
I did research. There is not much reporting about this case, which I don't really understand how or why. According to his confession, he said that oh, she came back and we had a fight over something. She was screaming at me. I was screaming back. Then I pushed her by accident and she fell, hit her head and died. Make it make sense. But there was nothing in the house that corroborated with his story. And he said, oh, I, it was an accident. I couldn't explain it. So I had to cover my tracks. And the authorities and the brother had to kick down her room door.
And once you step into the room, the flies, the smell, the stains, that's when they knew Thekla was never going to come back at life and that's when they knew he had to tell them exactly what happened. I have a theory. I believe he was home, had no intention of moving to again stay to the where, start working at the brewery, if he even got the job in the 1st place. If he did get the job, employment. I don't think he had any intentions of going to work there because he's a Leech, he's a parasite.
He wants things to be handed to him for free. He wants to keep taking and taking if it's up for the taking, even if it's not up for the taking, if it's it's possible to take hit by the take and work for his own. I believe he started taking money from her hoping to find his own place, move out. And then if he has his own roof, that's freedom. Freedom to do all sorts of evil, I believe because someone who just goes ahead and kills someone in this nature and does it to this extent is not a good person at heart.
So I believe maybe he had no idea that she was catching on, that she was aware that he was stealing from her. She wasn't planning to to confront him yet, she was planning to bite her time and perhaps scare him into honesty and loyalty. But after speaking to the neighbor on her way to the house, now this case is at the center of her mind. So when she walks into the house, boom, there he is in the lounge room. She tries to ignore him but she just talked about his betrayal few minutes ago. So it's very easy for this feelings to bubble up almost immediately.
You see this stupid idiot's face as she sees him. She can't push it down. So she walks to him and tells him, hey, I don't want you working for me anymore. You're stealing from me. I don't understand why I want you to stop working for me and I want you to move out of here. We don't deal with dishonest people. We've been kind to you. And you know we need this money. My sister has cancer. I need to take care of my family and this business is the only business that's financing all my responsibilities.
I don't understand why you would do this to me, even after all the our niceness to you. Perhaps she must have told him I need to return all the money you've stolen from me. How would he do that? And he knows he can't pay it back, so maybe he tries to lie. I'm not stealing from you. And she's like, I know you are. I have proof. So pay the money back or I'm going to arrest you. Move out of here, stop coming to my shop, pay me back my money. And if you don't pay me back, I will arrest you. Probably she wouldn't follow up on the arrest, but you know, a threat to make him leave because just like Paris, besides, you need to expel it by force.
But with the threat of being arrested and the request of returning the money, which perhaps he already spent, he knew he was bound to get in trouble. So he attacked her and he killed her. Didn't know what to do after that. So he thought I need to get rid of her so no one knows what I did to show how detestable he is, how evil he is. He still went ahead take more money from her even knowing that the sister has cancer and would need the money. He took the money regardless. The mother found out how her daughter died.
The mother died from shock and grief and eventually the eldest sister Linda who was fighting for her life against cancer. She lost to cancer and she died as well, and a family of 6 became a family of three in a span of few months. So that's the case as it stands. Everything laid out from what's been reported to what's BeenVerified. Cases like this and always come with clear answers. This case raises questions about judgment, about decisions made in specific moments, and about how quickly a situation can shift from normal to irreversible.
