The two had met in Kisumu and were taking drinks at a lavish hotel before the boy went missing.

According to Irene Atieno, a waitress at the hotel, the man took off few minutes after she brought them a Sh7,000 bill.

“He left after I had brought the bill. It’s likely he never wanted to make the payments,” said Irene.

According to the student, the guy notified him that he was going to the washroom but never returned.

“He said he was going to the washroom. I haven’t seen him since. I am now stranded here,” said the girlfriend.

The man switched off his phone immediately after escaping from the hotel.

The two had barely known each other, and this was their first date.

The hotel released the lady after she paid Sh3,000 cash and left her phone and other documents as guarantee for the remaining balance.

She was given one week to pay the outstanding Sh4,000.
