Quoting an official source, a publication also disclosed, “The suspect was drunk and had been fighting with another man – possibly a receptionist in the hotel. He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up.”

Reportedly, he is kept in prison on suspicion of ‘violence against another person’.
