Brian had apparently exited the club as it was time to close.

"So kufika hivi nilikuta Brian amefukuzwa kutoka hio club juu walikuwa wanataka kufunga. So kumwangalia hivi nikajua huyu ni Brian.

Na alukuwea amelewa sana. Alikuwa chini na anatolewa. Alikuwa chini na alikuwa amelewa. So kumuona nikamwita, 'Brian!' Akaitika. So akaniambia nisaidie."

He recounted that Brian was inebriated and after giving assurance to the guards, he was allowed to help him.

"Brian akasema nisaidie. Masoldier wakasema kama unamjua unaweza ukamsaidia."

"I was going in a different direction, so I wanted to leave him there but the way he was drunk, akasema naomba unisongee, nikamsongea kwa bike akaingia nyuma yangu. Tukaenda tukafika Gacharage Junction, so nilikuwa nataka ku divert niende nyumbani.

“Brian alikuwa anaenda kwa different direction, so nilikuwa nataka kumwacha hapo lakini venye alikuwa mlevi tena akasema naomba mnisongeshe mnifikishe mahali fulani."

"So after amesonga tukafika mahali alituambia akashuka tu pikipiki and then kumuitisha fare akaanza tu kukimbia. Before asonge two steps mbele ndio gari ilitokea ikampiga."

According to police and eye witnesses, the lorry sped off without stopping.
