Evename had been arguing with Attieku, who decided to end the relationship. He, in turn, threatened to kill her two days before the eventual murder.

Attieku informed her brother of the threat, and they both reported it to the police.

On November 12, 2015, Evename bought a kitchen knife and went to a hostel where Attieku was lodging, where he stabbed her multiple times, killing her. HE subsequently tried to take his own life.

In another similar stabbing incident recently, a level 200 student was stabbed to death after stabbing her boyfriend in a fit of jealousy.
