A British man who sparked a police manhunt after going missing in Nairobi has been found in a pub after a four-day bender, sharing a keg of beer with some newfound friends. Police from Kenya’s elite crime units had been deployed to find Nelson Newbery, 22, after his disappearance on December 6 caused panic among friends and family.
Twitter posts suggest Mr Newbery was living and working in Nairobi when he disappeared. According to one post, his colleague Sebastian Gibaud at the company ChaiT said he had gone to buy a replacement sim card for his mobile phone when he disappeared.
Apparent footage of Mr Newbery on the day he went missing shows him in Nairobi’s Sarit shopping centre, dressed in a black T-shirt and carrying a bag.
Police said they found him under the influence of drugs after they “stormed” a local pub in Uthiru, a district of Nairobi about 15km away from the Sarit Centre.
“A British citizen who has been missing since Tuesday, December 6, has finally been found by detectives.The 22-year-old man [was] identified as Nelson Newberry,” said Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations
“[He] was found at a local pub in Uthiru, Kiambu county, where he was drinking with newly found friends and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
Photos posted by the police show Mr Newbery looking dishevelled and puffy eyed with his father who had flown out to Kenya from the UK after news of the disappearance.
He was dressed in a T-shirt that was different to the one he was wearing in the Sarit Centre, suggesting he may have had a break from drinking in the days he was missing.
Police said has been taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.

The still hammered Nelson Newberry with his very relieved father.
Looks like he got a pop in the eye to boot.
“My name is is Nelson...”
4 day bender and only one lumped up eye in Africa is winning.
He must have tiger’s blood and Adonis DNA...
I can’t imagine how much he drank in 4 days. The last time I was to Wales, I managed 5 pints on a pub crawl. I was maybe 130lbs at the time, so that was an impressive amount of grog for a small guy like me.
How many points should be deducted for wearing a shirt that says “Dior”?
Probably a girl gave it to him. She wears only Dior.
I’m reminded of the drunk in MASH that nobody knew who he was. When he sobered up they learned he was supposed to be Hawaii but his buddies shipped him to Korea.
A Brit? A pub would be the first place to look.
After she took off her shirt and gave it to him, she had to go get another one...
After all, back in the day, if a girl took off her shirt for me, I'd sure enough wear it.
And here I was, thinking this was a photo of the guy and Bill Clinton.
Has there ever been a more consummately British name than, “Nelson Newberry”? I’m opening the floor to wagers on his middle name with $1.00 on, “Dudley.”
Drinking TUSKER beer, I bet.
Dog bites man.
This could never happen to me. My wife knows me too well. She would have found me on the first day and pulled me out of there.
That’s nothing for a “pro drinker”.
Try a 750 of Jack and a six pack.
-This is not recommended, nor should it ever be done in public
Back in the day - mainly muscular Irish and 233 lbs.
I think he earns points for wearing it and not dying.
Gareth Southgate?
I wonder if his dad gave him the black eye...
I believe there may be a chair for him in A.A.
By the grace of God, I have been sober since 3/20/88
and never visited Kenya.
Our Scout platoon was hosted by the Aufklarung or reconnaissance detachment of our German freundschaft unit, the 56th PzGdr Bn for a week long visit at their kaserne.
One of the highlights of the visit was a feast in the woods with trestle tables set up around a roaring fire, a whole roast pig and accompanying dishes, served by waiters from their unit in mess jackets and an endless stream of German Bier from festival truck.
I lost track at around 17 liters.
The next day of course we took their PT test....
