And they knew that this could not have been a suicide because nobody just stabs themselves in the chest before hanging themselves.
Now, of course, when police first started their investigation, the first person they spoke to was Ntituko Shoba.
When they questioned him, he seemed to have all the answers.
He told police the same thing that he told her family when they called.
He said that she had been over that previous night, but he sent her home in an Uber and went to bed after she left.
He even had CCTV footage from his building available for them to watch, which confirmed his story.
We will return to the footage in just a few minutes.
But yeah, police reviewed the footage and saw that Shoba did in fact send her home, so he couldn't have been the one who killed her.
So, the next thing they had to do was track the jeep that picked her up.
The original CCTV footage from Shoba's apartment did not show the numbers on the license plate, but police knew where she was picked up and where she was found dead.
So, they used that to look at CCTV footage along a route that the killer could have taken, and they did find a camera that captured the license plate number.
They ran the license plate through and called the owner of that car.
The owner was a woman, so police asked if she was driving on the night in question and she said no, her boyfriend was driving.
The boyfriend driving the car ended up being a man named Musicaiza Malapain who went by Musi.
Police tracked this man down and by June 15, 2020, they arrested him on suspicion of murder.
When they brought him in, they straight up told him that Shoba was with a woman who was found dead and Shoba was pinning his murder on him, the man who picked her up that night.
It was also said that Musi felt at least some guilt for what he did.
So because of all of this and the fact that Musi now saw Shoba as a snitch and he wasn't about to take the fall for this other man.
So Musi pretty much immediately started talking to police and told them the whole story.
