Three suspected fraudsters have been charged in court charged with obtaining credit by false pretenses after they accrued a Sh126,450 bill in a hotel in Nairobi's South B estate before they escaped without payment.

The three accused persons - Emmanuel Bwire Rigara, Jackson Oloo Oketch and Damian Sangawe - reportedly duped the management of the Melili Hotel and stayed there dining and wining for seven days before they left without settling the bills.

They are accused of obtaining services at the hotel by pretending they were in a position to clear the said bill.

The suspects approached the hotel management claiming to be technicians hired by a European investor to repair a fuel station along Mombasa road.

But the investor later informed the hotel's management that he had also been conned by the three men and the matter was reported at Industrial Area Police Station.
