It is alleged that the husband was the master brain behind the murder. After detailed planning, he allowed his wife to contact the businessman.

She lured him into their house offering to entertain him. Once inside, her husband was all set to attack him. He assaulted the businessman, lifted him and threw him from the balcony of their fifth floor apartment. He died on the spot.

They grabbed his car keys and money before fleeing from the scene.

However, they were caught shortly and arrested and referred to Public Prosecution.
