Police are looking for a bouncer accused of assaulting a reveler outside a club in an altercation in Nairobi’s downtown.
Witnesses told police the incident happened in the Odeon Cinema area outside Somer Club on Sunday dawn.
One Brian Mwendo was fatally assaulted outside the club in an altercation.
The assailant used a club inflicting injuries on the man’s head, stomach and chest, police said.
He was rushed to the hospital where he succumbed to the injuries, police said.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending other procedures. It is not clear what prompted the rage that turned fatal.
Police said they were looking for the bouncer to record his statement as part of the probe into the attack.
Such incidents are common in clubs and have left many bouncers rot in jails and victims dead or nurse wounds.
And there was drama when mortuary attendants refused to receive the body of a man who had been murdered in Limuru area, Kiambu County.
The body of an unidentified man was found in Limuru Town after his murder on Sunday morning.
Police moved it to the Nairobi City Mortuary where attendants said they would not admit it because the area of its discovery was outside the Nairobi City County.
This follows a new directive to restrict preservation of bodies from only within the county as part of efforts to address the limited space and other resources available.
The team of police accompanying the body moved it to Kiambu County Referral Hospital Mortuary where attendants similarly declined to receive the body until relatives are traced.
The body was then returned to Limuru Sub-County having failed to secure any public mortuary to receive the body.
After the intervention of the Kiambu County government officials the body was taken back to Kiambu County Referral Hospital mortuary.
But when the admission processes were almost complete the mortuary staff informed police officers that the hospital administration has made another decision that the body be taken to Tigoni sub-county hospital mortuary.
Worn out, police abandoned the body at the mortuary and left. It was not officially admitted, officials aware said.
Authorities were Monday deliberating on the way forward regarding the body.
