The Nation has also established that Waeni and the main suspect in her murder had met through the social media platform Instagram. Messages between the two show how the man had, on several occasions, lured Waeni to meet up with him, but she used to turn down the invites. A detective familiar with the ongoing investigation revealed that the suspect consistently used Instagram for communication, avoiding direct phone calls. With the date secured, the suspect arrived early and communicated his location to Waeni who was enroute from Syokimau. According to Dr Mutea, Waeni was an intelligent, smart girl who was also kind and caring.
