POLICE AND THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT MOVES IN FAST TO DISPEL RUMORS ON THE DEATH OF A FOREIGNER AT ACACIA HOTEL LAST NIGHT

Police in Kisumu and the management of the Acacia Premier Hotel have dispelled rumors that a guest at the hotel died following a shoot out drama last night. 

Regional Police Commander Willy Lugusa said preliminary investigation into this incident established that the deceased could have succumbed to a health condition after assorted drugs were found in his room clearly indicating that he could have been under medication.

According to the police, the guests, one diplomat from one of Asian Countries and a Ugandan citizen checked into the hotel yesterday and had documentations indicating they were scheduled to travel abroad to seek further medication for the diseased. 

The diplomat is said to have left the hotel shortly to run some errands but when he came back, he found his colleague lying unconsciously in the bath tab, he immediately called the front office who called in a doctor, unfortunately by the time the doctor arrived, the diseased had passed on.

The Regional Command confirmed that the body of the diseased was found with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, but there was no sign that an altercation had occurred neither were there signs that a firearm had been used in the 10pm incident.

The body of the diseased was rushed to Kisumu District hospital mortuary for further autopsy as police pursue diplomatic procedures that will help them get deeper into this matter.

Earlier during a press briefing at the Hotel, the General Manager Mr. Duncan Mwangi re-emphasized that the hotel followed the right procedure in quickly responding to the matter and he further refuted claims of laxity on the party of the hotel.
