It always happens; men fighting over women or vice versa. The scene raises dust but it settles fast after the parties have been separated and told to part ways. But when a fight gets nasty and someone loses his/her life, then it is no longer a matter of parting ways, but one involving the police.
An eye witness who prefers anonymity but was at the Club says she saw it all:
“They first fought in the section of the Club ‘40+’ up to the washrooms. Then Ivan ran away for some time before returning with a piece of broken Heineken bottle which he used to cut Johnnie’s throat.
Johnnie’s intention wasn’t fighting Ivan but Nina (his ex-wife) so Ivan came to defend Nina, who is reportedly his current girlfriend.
Johnnie bled too much but the club bouncers and security personnel didn’t come to his rescue as they looked for Ivan.
It took almost one hour for the bouncers to come to his rescue and because of the crowded venue, it was difficult for Johnnie to be taken out quickly (of the club) since there was confusion, with others suggesting the injured man be given first aid.”
Who takes blame?
When the incident happened, the managers and bouncers tried to distract the attention of the party goers by increasing the volume of the music and stopping them from screaming.
In fact most people didn’t know what was happening until they saw Johnnie’s friends crying and screaming.
Getting the body out
The bouncers then dragged Johnnie’s body through the exit door…
