The pair encountered each other on the ground floor and a struggle began. During the course of this altercation both of them fell, but unfortunately Katrina was carrying a knife in her handbag.
Katrina fell onto the handbag, causing the knife to pierce the bag and then stab Karina in the chest. Police were called to reports of the incident and on arrival officers found Dada administered CPR to Katrina.
