According to the police, somebody apparently entered a heated argument with the employee over the issue of liquor bottle prices.

The victim was lying in a pool of blood when some people noticed him this morning and informed the police about the incident. Some bottles in the vend were missing and belongings of the deceased, including his empty wallet, were scattered all over up to more than 100 meters from the liquor vend.
