Our Origin
Nadia's Story
Nadia had been seeing the perpetrator for a few months in late 2017, but broke things off when she noticed his toxic behaviour. Although Nadia made it clear that they were just to remain friends, he became adamant on getting back together, but she continued to reject his advances. He decided to take an extreme approach one night when he tried one last time to try and get back with her. He made it clear that the night was either going to end in her accepting his advances, or ending her life. His decision to murder her was clear in the very violent way he killed her, and his premeditated actions. Details of her murder are posted in the articles tab and section.
