Among the dead is the brewer and his girlfriend or coconspirator. Case solved.
The silly habit of consuming your way have to stop! They probably had a short lived fun to a point they fell unconscious! There go Ruto’s wheelbarrow peasants right in his front door! Where was Kimani gunjiru? Drinking with them too!!??
