"I don’t think she would be killing someone. She was a person who was caring for everybody. She tried to help everybody."
Further, Aliya's mother revealed that the opioids influenced her behaviour after a dental mishap. A witness present at the crime scene revealed that they smelled something burning and didn't have any idea if it was gasoline or what. When they saw the couch on the stairs had caught fire, they rushed.
The witness further added that Aliya and Jacob had an abusive relationship. She would often tell everybody that she would burn his house down and would kill him. However, everyone just laughed at her. Talking about Nargis Fakhri's sister, Aliya's ex-beau's mother, the couple had parted ways a year back, but she continued to pursue him. Jacob worked as a plumber on a property to convert the garage into an apartment, and the girl working with him was his friend and they were not lovers. She siad:
"Jacobs and Ettienne were friends and not lovers."
