Her boyfriend Omar Lali was arrested and kept in custody but the DPP dropped the murder case against him in July and ordered an inquest. The six—Qusai Lali Omar, Ali Bakari Muhammed, Abdul Lali Omar, Yaya Salim Muhammed, Ahemed Ali Sali and Mohammed Omar Muhanji—were summoned by the magistrate after they declined to board a van sent by the DPP to testify. Abdul also summoned Omar Lali, Tecra's former lover, to appear for the next hearing, either in person or through an advocate, as he might be a witness in the inquest. So far, 11 of 44 witnesses have testified, including Tecra's mother Tabitha, brother James Karanja and househelp Anne Waithera. The brother of Keroche heiress Tecra said she told him her affair with Lali was not ordinary but spiritual and obsessive.
