According to unconfirmed reports that people in Tanzania are sending to me, 19 year fast rising Tanzanian actress Elizabeth 'Lulu' Michaels is the person who pushed popular Tanzanian actor Steven Kanumba to his death.
According to their story, Steven and Lulu were fighting over calls that were coming on her phone while she was at his home. He demanded to see the calls and the girl wasn't ready to surrender it. While he was taking it by force, she pushed him and he fell, hitting his head hard. The fall killed him.
