Peter Ekai killed by friend in drunken fight

A disagreement on a job placement between two drunk friends turned fatal, after what started as a brawl degenerated into a full scale offensive .

Peter Ekai, 30, and Elphas Kipkoech, 26, were on a drinking spree at Longisa trading centre in Kamagut, yesterday evening, before they turned on each others’ necks.

This is after Ekai turned to his friend Kipkoech and accused him of plotting for his downfall, at a local security agency where he worked as a guard.

Ekai reportedly told Kipkoech that he had reliably learnt that he wanted him sacked, so that he could replace him at ChapChap security agency.

A bitter argument then ensued between the two who were already drunk, with Kipkoech denying the allegations.

As the war of words escalated, tempers flared up and they started fighting using sharp objects.

Ekai was unfortunately stabbed on the chest and rushed to Moi teaching and referral hospital in Eldoret, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Kipkoech who equally suffered stab wounds was treated and discharged.He was however whisked to Eldoret Police station for processing to answer to murder charges.

Crime scene detectives based at Eldoret documented the scene and collected crucial details in relation to the crime.
