NAIROBI, (Reuters) – An Arsenal fan in Kenya stabbed a Liverpool supporter to death on Saturday while they were watching on television as the Merseyside club beat the Londoners 5-1 in the Premier League, said a local police chief.
Tom Odera, police chief in the north eastern region of Meru, said “the assailant and the deceased had a bitter argument over the match”.
“The assailant, David Mwangi, drew out a knife and stabbed Anthony Mutethia,” Odera told Reuters by telephone yesterday.
Kenyans, like most Africans, are fervent English Premier League fans and regularly throng bars and restaurants to watch their favourite teams.
