According to initial reports, the two had worked together for about three years at a packers and movers company, during which time they developed a relationship. However, the couple broke up recently. Sources indicate that Mann was deeply distressed after his failed attempts to rekindle the romance, leading to a heated argument between the two earlier that day.
Local police and forensic teams have gathered evidence from the scene, and an official investigation is underway to confirm the exact motive and piece together the history of their relationship.
