A disgruntled gambler in Kenya on Tuesday went berserk after losing his money, grabbing a sword to kill two casino managers before being stoned to death by a mob.
The Tanzanian man was upset after losing $300 (about N60,000) at a gambling machine in Nairobi’s Eastleigh district in the early hours of Tuesday morning. He reportedly got angry when he was refused an advance to try and win the money back.
He then left the casino and returned with a sword.
“He first attacked a female manager who declined to lend him money to continue gambling — and that is when he went out to fetch a sword and slashed her to death,” the Nairobi police chief, Japheth Koome, said.
“He then slashed a security manager who tried to intervene and killed him.”
Another security officer was wounded, but other gamblers then chased the attacker before beating him to death in the street using rocks.
“By the time our officers arrived, they found him dead,” Mr Koome said.
