It is believed that the three men were were contracted by Keziah Wanjiru to kill her love rival, Hildah. Keziah is an employee of St Paul University. The two women once dated one man known as Jesphat Mwarania, an employee of NBK in Meru

Hildah and Josephat Mwarania had held their traditional wedding ceremony in February and were enjoying a quiet evening at home with Hildah’s 10 year old son and her younger sister when the hired men entered their house, shot her three times and killer her instantly. Her husband escaped and took refuge in a neighbor’s house.

Its alleged that the three- Hildah, Keziah and Josphat once worked together. Josphat dated both girls before finally settling on Hildah for his bride. The news that Josphat had even paid dowry for Hildah did not go down well with the jilted Keziah.

Earlier this month, Keziah started her revenge mission and looked for the three killers. Then she took them on a trip to from Nairobi to Machakos, where she showed them the house in which Mwarania and Hildah lived in.

One of the killers claimed that after they shot Hildah dead, they communicated with Keziah who was very happy to hear the news. She had promised them that even if they get arrested, she would take care of their families. She had also promised to give them Sh 400,000 when the job was done. Before they went on the killing mission, they were given a down payment of Sh 10,000
