A recent report by TV47 has uncovered unresolved issues in the investigation. The family disclosed details about Rita’s ex-boyfriend, who not only had an obsession with her but also resorted to stalking and making violent threats against her.
From the interview, it remains unclear whether the investigators have questioned the boyfriend who’s conduct now puts him as a person of interest in the murder that shocked the nation.
According to the parents, Rita had a friend who studies at Strathmore University. In July 2023, this friend (identity hidden for legal reasons) invited Rita to her place within Nairobi West near Magharibi Place.
When Rita arrived at the meeting point, the friend requested her to wait in the same vicinity within her rented hostel, where the meeting was to happen. In a short while as Rita stayed put, a stranger appeared from nowhere. The man identified himself to Rita as one Carlton Maina. The conversation was very brief. He then requested to have Rita’s Instagram account to make a follow up communication, and he was granted.
Mesmerized by the encounter, the two took their conversation online and from their is where the friendship and trust blossomed.
For Rita, it was the thrill of getting to know someone new, and for the killer, the bait had been swallowed and he was only buying time before making a prowl.
It was until after the burial that the friend came out to confess to the parents of how the two had met and that she was being haunted by nightmares.
The parents feel that Rita’s friend and ex boyfriend are persons of interest and that the investigations shouldn’t leave out any angle.
