I was furious that my husband and my own sister would betray me, I felt hurt that the two people I’d trusted the most had stabbed me in the back” she said bursting into tears. “So what did you do afterwards?” the DPO asked offering her a tissue, “nothing” she replied, “nothing?” He asked, “you found out your husband and sister had been having an affair and you did nothing?” the DPO asked looking in disbelief, “what was I supposed to do? I was too devastated to confront them immediately so I ran back to my room and pretended to be asleep even after Jeff came in. I didn’t want him to know that I knew what was going on, I needed time to decide on what to do next, I was contemplating divorcing him or sending my sister packing but I felt I needed time to think things through first. Luckily, my official trip to Kenya was scheduled shortly after the incident, I was glad I had an opportunity to go far away from both of them so I could think clearly” she explained.
I intentionally did not roam my phone and I kept delaying getting a phone line over there and blaming it on too much work because I didn’t want to hear from any of them, I needed to be on my own.

How else would I have justified sending my sister packing?” Lara replied. “Does she have any idea that you know about what you just told us?” the DPO asked, “she doesn’t know” Lara responded shaking her head, “I was going to tell both of them when I returned from my trip, I didn’t know I wasn’t going to meet Jeff alive, I didn’t know she’d be so callous to commit murder, I had no idea that her jealousy had eaten so deep…” Lara wailed out loudly, “calm down, madam; it’s okay!”the DPO said handing her another tissue, “I think you should go home to get some rest, the last 24 hours must’ve been really hectic for you”“It has” Lara responded wiping her tears with the tissue handed to her, “everything is happening so fast” she replied.
“One of my officers will take you back home now” the DPO offered, “but do us a favour and don’t mention what you just told us to anyone at all, not even your sister” the DPO requested, “I need her to be taken by surprise when my men come to arrest her.
