A Kisumu man is fighting for his life at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital (Russia) after being stabbed twice by his friend on Wednesday night, moments after the Chelsea vs Derby league cup match.
Vincent alias Hazard was involved in an argument with the perpetrator identified as Amani at Roll Club in Kondele.
Just after the incident, the offender disappeared from the crime scene and is yet to be traced.
According to the victim, the angry perpetrator stabbed him with a knife on his stomach, accusing him of mockery after he missed out on a Sh82,000 bet.
“I didn’t know if he was carrying weapons. He was angry after losing the bet. He had placed a bet on under 2.5 but it never went his way. It was the only loss on the multi-bet after Chelsea won 3-2. I told him that he had messed the bet himself,” Vincent said.
Witnesses rushed the bleeding victim to the nearby Russia Hospital on a motorbike and luckily, the bleeding was controlled before it became severe.
Police have launched a search for the suspect, and appealed to anyone who has any information on his whereabouts to report to the nearest police station.
