Waiters Beat Arrogant Customer to Death

• • Waiters have allegedly beaten an Australian tourist to death for being "arrogant" while ordering a beer in an Indian restaurant (I thought just the French did this ["I fart in your general direction"]).

John Kelly, 65, is reported to have died of internal injuries sustained when he was beaten by staff at the Club City Restaurant in the Indian resort region of Goa yesterday.
The incident follows the murder of 15-year-old British tourist Scarlett Keeling, who was allegedly raped and left for dead by two local men in Goa in February.
The Times of India and local reports said Mr Kelly's beating followed an altercation in which he displayed an "arrogant attitude".
He reportedly arrived in Goa on September 29 and entered the bar at 8am local time on Wednesday.
Some reports said security staff at the bar joined in the bashing.
Others said Mr Kelly was set upon by "a group" of waiters, who also tore up his clothes.
Deputy Superintendent Gundu Naik said Mr Kelly died 10 hours after being attacked while drinking a beer in the bar at Calangute, about 10km from the state capital, Panaji.

"He died 10 hours after the assault, while being treated at Goa Medical College and Hospital here,'' Superintendent Naik was quoted as saying.
"He entered into an argument with the waiter which resulted in the altercation. The deceased was pushed down and assaulted.''
No further details were released but Superintendent Bosco George said two waiters and a security guard at the premises had been detained, but not arrested, in connection with the incident.
The Times of India quoted another local police officer as saying that the incident was being treated as murder.

 

Clearly not a nice place to go to.

I gather they have been charged with murder. At least that is what the Australian press are reporting.

 

Note to self: provide adequate customer relationship training for my future staff

 

It's now being reported that his "crime" was to complain of the way his beer was served.

 

Note to self 02: provide beer in adequate manner to Australian (and Thai) tourists

 

Excellent plan, and remember to post a sign which clearly states "We reserve the right to NOT provide service". This tells the patrons that their behavior itself may reflect on their remaining in your establishment.

I don't think that is only an American concept, if it is it shouldn't be.

 

I dont think i'd EVER select a place like India as a travel destination. MEH.

 

note to self: stop being so arrogant as to believe you're coming to a country in order to educate the natives. the natives will give you life's supreme lesson.

 

Not so good for his Karma. I thought those guys were zen. See about the clichés? I Have to go; I'm off I have to beat up a few custommers: they ordered ice cubes in their wine.

 

Now that's Just Cause!

 

Clearly you've never been to France Or indeed, quite a few places in the UK and the rest of Europe

Why? It's a beautiful country with a culture and history that predates the US by literally thousands of years.

Why do the Australians keep making weird headlines in relation to their treatment of, or behavior as customers? Now a bowl of chocolate ice cream tained by fecal matter is rather "minor" compared to a beating death, but still:

I agree with Stefan entirely, this country has the rudest members of responsablity ever!
