“Nikamwambia kama ungekuwa mtu wa kupigwa ningekupiga ju nikikuuliza kitu na husemi na wewe ndie ulishinda kwa nyumba. Kidogo akaanza kuongea ndio nikamwambia usifanye nikuwe na hasira na kisirani zenye sio zangu na wewe kaa tu huko nje nimalizane ndio urudi,” the suspect’s mother told local television station NTV.
The family suspect’s that she sneaked out of the house at around midnight when everyone else was asleep.
“Sasa mimi nikapika chakula ikaiva ako tu huko nje, kumaliza akakuja akapata tushamaliza kukula mimi nikaamka nikaenda kwa room ya kulala. Nikaona ameingia kama anafunga mlango akatoa mattress, mimi nikaacha kama nimejua mtu anataka kulala sasa pia mimi nikalala tu nikawachana na yeye,” he mother said.
She added: “Mimi nilijua mtu amelala kwa nyumba. Asubuhi ndio wanaamka saa kumi na mbili watoto wananiambia hayuko, nikasema asubuhi ameamka ameenda wapi.”

It was however not immediately clear how the girl met Maigo and how the two ended up at his house. However, footage from CCTV suggested to detectives that Maigo might have picked her at a club in Kilimani where he was seen in the company of two other women.
