RESPONSE: Why indeed, were the waiters Goans? or could Goans also have done the same thing?

The fight, during which tourist John Kelly was pushed to the floor and assaulted, is thought to have started over the "style of serving beer", police officials said today. Manak Basak, 32, Jagat Pradhan, 23, and Jaykrishna Das, 25, were arrested after the incident at a beach bar in Calangute, about 10km from the Goan state capital Panaji. Inspector Tushar Vernekar said an officer was sent to the premises after hearing about a fight at 6.30am (midday AEDT) yesterday but Mr Kelly had already left. Jose Philip Vaz, the owner of the guest house where Mr Kelly was staying, said: "He arrived here at 9.30am. He went to the room and fell on the floor." An ambulance was called and Mr Kelly was taken to hospital where he died later that evening. Superintendent Bosco George said police had registered a case of murder and investigations were continuing. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said it was urgently seeking to confirm the death. "A staff member from the Australian Consulate-General in Mumbai has travelled to Goa for this purpose," a spokesman said.
