Nightclub bouncer arrested for ‘pushing reveller to death’ after quarell
Police are holding a nightclub bouncer in Eldoret after he allegedly pushed a reveller down a flight of stairs who later succumbed to his injuries
The suspect was arraigned at the Eldoret Law Courts on Monday but police sought for more time to conclude investigations.
He is currently being held at the Eldoret Central Police Station.
The deceased, Abraham Kibet, was allegedly assaulted by nightclub security man at Black Bamboo Lounge in Eldoret on Saturday.
He is reported to have had an altercation with the bouncer, who pushed him down a flight of stairs.
Mr Kibet injured his head and was taken to hospital by his wife and a male friend who were at the club with him at the time of the incident.
Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Chief Executive Officer Wilson Aruasa said that Mr Kibet died on Thursday morning.
“The victim was admitted at our hospital on Saturday at around 3.20am with head injuries. He was wheeled to the theatre where a brain surgery was conducted before he was taken to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on Sunday morning. Unfortunately we lost him on Thursday at around 11am,” said Dr Aruasa.
The club’s manager Jonathan Munyaka told the Nation that the management of the club is working closely with the police to establish what transpired.
“It is true that the incident happened at our club and we are working with the authorities to unravel the truth. The victim is a common reveller at our club and we have nothing to hide,” said Mr Munyaka.
Mr Kibet, who was in his early 20s, has left behind his wife and one child.
