A businessman who went to Mombasa City for a business trip has lost close to SH600,000 in the latest saga of ‘mchele’ girls.

The man who went to have a good time perhaps cool off the heat at a VIP Club Volume in Shanzu spotted a beautiful damsel with whom he wished to establish a relationship of the convenience variety on Saturday night.

He wasted no time and invited her to his table for a chat over a drink and the two hit it off to a perfect night full of drinks, laughter and bliss. Or was it?

According to the man, when the clock struck 4 am, the lady who responded to the name Wambui suggested to the man that it was time to take the fun a notch higher and the two lovebirds staggered out of the club and hailed a cab to Seville apartments where the man had boarded.

Once they arrived at the apartment, they took a shower before going back to the room where the man took a glass of juice.

That was the last thing the fellow remembered from that fateful night after the apartment’s steward’s knock on the door woke him up on Sunday afternoon.

That is when the bitter reality dawned on him he had become Sh596,000 poor overnight.

Also missing with the cash was his mobile phone, laptop, ATM cards and other valuables.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives based at Bamburi have launched a manhunt for the suspect who is at large.
