The deceased's sister, Maggie, alleges that the suspect bribed police with buckets of KFC.
"We received a call from a policeman who said my late sister's boyfriend was at the police station with two buckets of KFC and they let him leave without arresting him," she said.
Maggie said the family was shocked by the police's inaction in failing to arrest him despite knowing where he lives and works. "It's clear that all the SMSes he sent to us boasting that money talks was true. He certainly bribed someone because they do speak to him but they don't arrest him."
