Now the eyewitness says that it was Kallie who attacked the waiter first with a knife and died in the brawl that followed.
"He wanted to buy beer for some Indian tourists. When they refused he forced the waiter to get it anyway. When the waiter tried to clarify, the Australian took out a knife and put it on the waiter's neck," says the eyewitness.
The Australian was badly injured in the brawl and was taken to the Goa Medical College and Hospital in Bambolim, where he died after being treated for almost ten hours.
The post mortem examination report is expected shortly.
Three waiters at the Club City restaurant in Calangute were arrested in connection with the murder of the Australian national on Wednesday morning. The three have been identified as Manak Basal, Jagat Pradhan and Jaykrishna Das.
