Tamati Mauti had reserved a hotel room in order to spend some quality time with his fiancée, Michelle Akinyi. Their hotel of choice was Ibis Styles Hotel in Westlands. While in the hotel, he left his fiancée in the room to go to the hotel bar.
That is where he met a mzungu lady, Kate Mitchell, who works for the BBC. She was BBC’s project manager. According to the police report, they had a few drinks before Kate went to her room.
Kate’s room was in the eighth floor while Tamati Mauti and his girlfriend’s room was in the seventh floor.
The guy pursued the Mzungu to her room for a reason that the police are yet to establish. We can only speculate that the two were lovers.
The police believe it is in Mitchell’s room where a fight broke out. Tamati must have overpowered Kate, and he stabbed her in the left side of her neck.
The lady bled profusely from the stab wound. She raised the alarm which attracted the attention of the hotel security.
