He gauges the amount he wants after looking at the total and demands it from you, " she added. Did Matara's victims report him? Maureen also shared that on December 31, 2023, Matara had a knife to the lady's neck, and he was telling her to ask people for money. "It has been a sequence and we have been warning others about him. I can identify him and I have people I can call ,"said the lady.  "The more a victim holds back because of embarrassment, the more criminals become bolder; they don't change numbers, they don't run away and they keep communication with some of their victims wanting more money from them," added the lady. The ladies have bitterly complained about alleged police inaction after reports were made in various police stations from Ng'ong Road to Kahawa Wendani and Kahawa West to Kasarani. What are new charges leveled against Matara "Personally, I don't think it should matter whether you wanted to meet someone for a hook -up or love, none should kill you or do unspeakable things to you and you cannot cry to the government for help," said the escort. "I would ask the police just to put more effort to investigate even the smallest detail to avoid more people becoming victims or picking dead bodies on different parts of the country," she added.

More women are flocking to the Industrial Area Police Station to report their ordeals. At the moment, instigators are considering opening a separate file on fraud, conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money by false pretence, and causing grievous harm in Matara's name.
