The exchanges reveal that the suspect, adamant in his pursuit, managed to lure the woman into agreeing to a meet-up.
At one point, the woman decided against the meeting, to which the suspect responded by suggesting they meet after his return to the country, as he was scheduled to fly out.
Despite the woman's initial reluctance, she ultimately traveled from Syokimau to TRM Drive in Roysambu along Thika Road, where the suspect had booked an apartment for a short stay.

The suspect gave her specific instructions to arrive at the designated spot after his own arrival.
Throughout the conversation, the woman questioned the suspect about his intentions, expressing concerns about her safety.
Shockingly, the suspect brushed off her inquiry and continued with the conversation. The victim, unaware of the impending danger, continued to share details of her travel progress and dress code with the suspect.
The tragic culmination of this disturbing rendezvous occurred when they met at TRM Drive and proceeded to the apartment, where the heinous crime transpired.
The victim, prior to leaving home, had informed her family that she was going to meet with a cousin, disguising the true nature of her plans.
