An anonymous source narrated that there was loud music blasting from the couple’s home on that fateful Sunday afternoon disturbing the neighbours.
When they could not take the noise anymore, the neighbours went to the estate office to lodge a complaint and asked the officials to warn the couple. On getting to the apartment to caution the couple, the officials met the wife’s younger sister taking care of kids.
