Police have launched investigations after a man lost his life under mysterious circumstances at a night club in Ruaka estate on the outskirts of Nairobi on Sunday, September 26.
The body of a man identified as Brian Macharia was found laying six floors from where he was last spotted alive. Macharia was allegedly thrown six stories down from the popular night club.
Witnesses pointed fingers at the club's security guards, popularly known as bouncers, whom they claim have a hand in the victim's death.
CCTV footage seen by Kenyans.co.ke shows the security guards manhandling the victim and bundling him into the club's storage room.
The reasons for the manhandling remains unclear as by the time of going to the press, Kenyans.co.ke could not independently verify reports that Macharia was drunk and disorderly and that is why he was bundled out of the club.
In his last moments, captured by the security cameras, Macharia is spotted having a good time in the club before making his way to the kitchen area. He is seen having a conversation with one of the staff members before it quickly escalates to a confrontation.
The member of staff, who is behind the counter, signals the security guards who respond swiftly and begin dragging the reveler out of the night club.
According to the CCTV footage, the victim can be seen engaging the security guards in a conversation but everything seems to degenerate with them whisking him out, tearing his shirt in the process.
Overpowered by the guards, the victim is dragged out of the club and manhandled in the process. One guard is seen punching the victim before a second security guard joins in assaulting the helpless man.
Other revelers who tried to intervene and rescue the victim were also roughed up in the process but their persistent efforts saw them help him get back on his feet.
The shirtless victim is seen attempting to make his entry back to the club but the same security guards wrestle him to the ground. Two more security guards join in and bundle him into a storage room within the club's premises.
Although bleeding, the victim gathers the little strength he has and manages to temporarily free himself from the guards. Unfortunately, he is accosted by the same guards who throw him back to the storage room despite the protests from some of the revelers and the club's staff who had gathered around the fracas.
What happened next remains a mystery as few minutes after he was locked up in the room, his body was found lying lifeless six stories below. His father-in-law, Richard Wachira, told the media that the victim had broken arms and legs as well as bruises around his waist.
"According to the members who saw whatever happened, they said that Brian, dropped dead," he stated.
Police have since nabbed three people in connection with the death among them one of the club's owners, a security guard in the footage and one member of staff.
The club's licence has also been revoked even as post-mortem report shows that Macharia died of multiple organ injuries.
