A renown Catholic priest called Joseph Kariuki, 43 years old was found dead in a 3-star Guest house where he checked in with his 32-year-old girlfriend, and ordered some liquor and chicken sparking off a huge debate of what exactly might have happened.
According to reports, tragedy struck on Saturday morning in Nairobi Kenya when he died under mysterious circumstances, exposing his 'randy' adventure as contrary to the priestly call.
"He had been our customer for two years and was a good man - amiable, vivacious but demanding of his secrecy. We all knew how to treat him properly and he returned the favour by giving us good tips, for he was a man with deep pockets. We knew he was a priest, but that was none of our business," said an employee at the hotel.
Trouble came in the morning when his supposed girlfriend noticed him slipping into unconsciousness so according to a police report filed by Gatanga sub-county police boss Laurence Njeru, the woman panicked and called the hotel management.
"The girlfriend also identified herself as the priest's colleague at Ruai Parish. She told the management that her boyfriend was dizzy and unconscious. She wanted immediate help to take him to hospital," the report reads in part.
The hotel management reacted quickly and assigned a driver and another employee to the alleged girlfriend.
The three allegedly covered the n@ked, unconscious priest with a hotel bed sheet and put him in his personal car - a Toyota Harrier.
