Read his confession below;
”I warned him to steer clear of her because we are planning to get married. So, on that fateful night, I trailed her to Luka’s residence, with an intention of taking her to her parents.
He engaged me in a fight on my arrival at their residence. I mistakenly used a knife in my possession and stabbed him in the buttocks. It was not my intention to kill him”
