But when she got pregnant again, she was already three months along by the time she told Shoba and it was too late at that point to get rid of it.
The prosecution outlined over 100 pages of WhatsApp text messages between them, showing Shobha's disinterest in having the baby.
At the trial, he actually read many of these messages aloud, which I will play for you now.
At the trial, they also talked about how Zeho was financially dependent on Shoba, with friends testifying to this at trial.
They said that Zeho had quit her job a few months before her death because of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
But as we know, Shoba had another woman in his life who he actually wanted to get married to.
I guess Zeho was just someone there for entertainment.
I don't really know what his thought was.
He clearly is a cheater and not a great person, not someone you want to get married to.
Rosette's mother had just died and she had a lot of money, like I mentioned earlier.
He said not only did he want to put this dress on her telling her that he got another woman pregnant, but he also knew that she would leave him and take her money with her.
So, clearly, he had the motive to set the entire thing up.
Then, of course, the courts heard the testimony from Musicaiza Malapain.
He told the entire story that I told you a few minutes ago, how they ran into each other because they ran with the same circle of friends.
He said that the two met up on several occasions, including on the day of the murder, which is confirmed via cell phone data.
They found that there were many text messages between them that could indicate that the two were planning the murder.
There were also many phone calls between the two of them around the times of the two different plans that Musi had told them about.
Other friends testified confirming the whole sketchy McDonald's situation, confirming what Musi told them about how she was offered this job,
and she was told to meet at McDonald's for the job interview, but Zeho got a bad feeling about it, so she didn't end up showing.
The prosecution argued that Shoba paid Musi to carry out the murder, and if it wasn't for Shoba's selfishness, Zeho would still be alive.
