Early Thursday morning, Matt woke Emmy up, telling her someone had tapped him, according to Emmy's statement to the police.
The victim then talked to himself, which scared Emmy.
Emmy then contacted Rizka, who lived on the second floor, asking her to go down to the first floor to check if the lights were out.
After the lights came back on, the victim said he was still scared. Emmy then gave him a glass of water.
Not getting better, Emmy then went outside to contact a relative in England.
When the witness was about to enter the house, the door was locked. Emmy then called Rizka to open the door.
Matt was already lying on the floor with a knife. He was still breathing when Emmy tried to help.
Matt was taken to the hospital but was declared dead. (lia/gie/mcr20/jpnn)
