It was reported that in the recording, Kaluwaya said he killed Mapalo because she dumped him for another man despite him putting a ring on her finger. The recording reads:
“I told her that let’s go somewhere and talk, we then went somewhere near the bush…We then talked about our relationship. She couldn’t cooperate. She told me that she has found a new guy called Patrick. She then told me that she no longer loves me, but she is ready to give me a child. She said she can give me anything. We then enjoyed ourselves,”
“Later the argument continued again because I was hurt, for her to leave me!. That’s how I strangled her neck, till she died. I then hit her with a piece of tree on the head. I don’t believe that she is still alive, if she is alive, then she must thank her God. I hope they will find her body. This is my last call, I hope that you will find my body, my phone is on, and the people who will pick my corpse will communicate…I’m using a small phone, no password…I’m gone!.”
