The court heard that the incident may have begun after Jane met Macdonald Owino and his wife, Alice Achieng, at a bar operated by the couple in Likoni.
According to testimony from investigators, what started as a social interaction escalated into a heated confrontation that prosecutors now believe may have played a central role in the events leading to her death.
Inspector Noah Sangut told the court that information from a close friend of the deceased, who was reportedly the last person to see her alive, indicated that Jane had an uncomfortable exchange during the meeting.

The witness described tension between the parties that appeared to leave Jane unsettled before she went missing.
Investigators further alleged that a disagreement may have been triggered after Owino reportedly told his wife that he intended to marry Jane.

This claim is said to have sparked an argument between the couple, though the accused have denied any involvement in the killing.
Jane was later reported missing, and Owino is said to have been among those who alerted authorities, identifying her as his girlfriend.

He allegedly told police he had spent the night with her at her residence before she left in the morning.
However, detectives told the court that inconsistencies emerged during the investigation. Police found that Jane’s house was locked when officers visited, and neighbours were unable to provide clarity on Owino’s access to the premises.
The case took a more disturbing turn when human body parts were discovered inside a sack in Likoni. Additional remains were later recovered in different locations across Mombasa and Kwale counties.

The prosecution maintains that evidence gathered, including witness statements and recovered remains, will be crucial in establishing what transpired in the final hours before Jane’s death.
The court is expected to continue hearing the case as investigations into the motive and full sequence of events remain ongoing.
