Upset by the move, Musili followed her to the lift, drew a knife and stabbed her in the back five times before turning the weapon to himself stabbing his stomach and neck.
He fell unconscious amid screams to save the two from witnesses.
They were both rushed to hospital where they were admitted in serious condition.
