A quarrel in a bar in Mai Mahiu Naivasha area of Kenya ended on a tragic note after a reveler died during a fight with bar attendants over a bill. It was reported that after the tragic incident, the three female attendants involved in the matter fled the town to escape arrest.
It was gathered that trouble started after the middle-aged man ventured into one of the bars in the trading center and started ordering drinks with the promise that he would pay.
A witness Patrick Kihara said that the reveler was well known in the bar adding that he entered the bar with his friends.
“He ordered drinks for his colleagues but when he was asked to pay he refused and a fight ensued between him and the bar attendants,” he said.
Kihara added during the fight one of the barmaids was seriously injured and sought the help of the others who overpowered the reveler and arrested him.
Security officers however noted that the man was bleeding from the head and decided to take him to a nearby health center where he was admitted.
“He was in hospital for over four hours but died hours later and the bar attendants got a whiff of this and fled from the town,” said Kihara.
A senior police officer confirmed this adding that they were seeking the trio to record a statement over the incident.
