Hours before her brutal death, Leilah Truphena a.k.a Gladys Leilah sent out a message to haters.

Detectives believe Leilah and her boyfriend Eric Maina a.k.a Eric Mpole a.k.a Mlepo met their death over the weekend and their bodies were discovered on Monday 8 in their Umoja 2 apartment.

Leilah took to her Facebook addressing her detractors.

"Sistee, ucjidanganye aty wify, mama watoto😂😂 na haujawai pelekwa kwa wazazi na hakuna hata dalili 💔💔 ...aah respect ur self aaah🙌 cna ubaya.

(Sis, don't lie to yourself that you are a wifey, or mother to his child and yet he has never taken you home to meet his parents. To top that up, there are no hopes of that happening. Respect yourself. I say this out of love.")

She signed off the post with "Mrs. Mlepo 💍 Wa maina🦋"

In another post dated October 31, she wrote, "I got one person I ain't giving up on 💍🧑‍🤝‍🧑 no matter what we go through 💔😊, how many times we stop talking, that's still going to be my baby✊😘💯..Mahaters mtabonga snaa😝😂Mrs mlepo💍Still wa maina💖✨."

Mlepo's last post read, "Ukijiona umefika, mimi nilifika tene. Mdomo kando likes zikam, luku fisa kama kawa. (If you think you have made it, I made it a long time ago. Shut your mouth and like this swag.)"

The couple started a vlog about their relationship called The Mlepos. It has over 200 subscribers. Their bodies were found in the Umoja apartment with multiple stab wounds.

Detectives believe that their successful car wash business may be the reason why they were targeted by rivals.

The postmortem will be conducted next week.

May they rest in peace.
