A Liverpool supporter has reportedly been stabbed to death in Kenya following the club’s 5-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday.
The report comes from Kenyan news sourceStandard Digital, which says that Anthony Muteitha’s death occurred in Meru town, about 140 miles north east of Nairobi.
The source claims that fans gathered at Marete’s bar to watch the match between the clubs placed 1st and 4th in the table heading into the weekend.
Things turned sour after Liverpool jumped out to a 4-0 lead 20 minutes into the match and Reds fans at the bar – backed by Chelsea and Manchester United fans – began to hurl taunts at Arsenal supporters.
Witnesses claim that Muteitha and David Mwangi argued throughout the match and that the situation became particularly heated once the final whistle blew confirming Liverpool’s 5-1 victory. The men continued their exchange outside the bar when Mwangi allegedly stabbed Muteitha before fleeing the scene on foot.
Muteitha was then rushed to Meru’s Level Five hospital, but sadly died of his injuries shortly thereafter.
Area police boss Tom Odero claims Mwangi remains at large and that a manhunt has commenced to arrest the assailant. Mwangi’s motorbike, which he used to attend the match, has been impounded.
The incident comes just months after a Manchester United fan in Nairobi committed suicide after watching his side lose 1-0 to Newcastle.
在利物浦5-1大胜阿森纳的夜晚，肯尼亚却有一位利物浦球迷因为球赛的结果失去了自己的生命，凶手确定为一名阿森纳球迷，至今尚未被找到。
让我们记住在大胜的夜晚，有人却忘记了足球宣扬快乐、激情、力量的本质，淹没在一时的仇恨中，夺取了对方球迷的生命。
让我们记住在大胜的夜晚，有一位利物浦球迷还没来得及享受胜利的喜悦，就永远不能再听到响彻安菲尔德的永不独行。
让我们忘记那些“你骂回来我就要骂回去”的孩子逻辑，让足球远离仇恨和生死，让我们记得这位红军球迷，曾经因此付出了生命的代价。
