You learn all this from Thancred and his poker bet in the Platinum Mirage. They were going to attempt to use Necromancy to bring back Warburton so they could hear what he had to tell, but then Niellefresne was stabbed from behind. You witness it happen by using The Echo through Ascilia that shows Mumuep and Niellefresne opening her father's tomb so we can only suspect that she stabbed him.
Ah, I didn't know Warburton's info was specifically about the Garlean Empire/Ala Mhigo. Out of curiousity when was it explained, because I don't see that info in Golden Sacrifices?

As far as I know, we have no idea who actually stabbed Niellefresne? When you say "we can only suspect that she stabbed him" I'm assuming you mean the owner of the Goldsmith's guild? (is the owner female?). I don't know the full extent of the Goldsmith class story (only did the first quest) but I doubt the actual owner was the one who did the stabbing (the character model seems to be male as well). But again I'm wondering how much it ties into the main story, as opposed to just being part of the goldsmith class quest line.
