A witness identified only as Peter said that the friends were drinking together when an argument arose over a goal that one of the teams had scored. “This degenerated into name-calling and the deceased was chased out of the bar and later attacked and left unconscious,” he said.
It was only on Monday morning that the lifeless body was found on the streets before police moved in to collect it.
Meanwhile, a mentally unstable man committed suicide in Nduro village in North Lake Naivasha a week after arriving from his working place in Meru.
The 31-year-old used a rope to commit suicide hours after asking his family members to repent their sins so that they could be accepted in heaven. An elder Simon Koech said that the deceased had been suffering from mental illness and had sought medical assistance.
“He kept on telling his family members to repent as the end of the world was getting closer before he decided to take his life,” he said.
Naivasha OCPD Samuel Waweru confirmed both cases adding that the bodies had been collected and inquest files opened.
