Man Kills Neighbour Who Kept Asking Him Why He Wasn’t Married
The 45-year-old suspect was said to have killed the deceased, 60,after being repeatedly asked why he was single.
A man has allegedly killed his insufferable neighbour who incessantly inundated him with questions on his relationship status.
The 45-year-old suspect was said to have killed the deceased, 60,after being repeatedly asked why he was single.
The incident occurred on July 29 in South Tapanuli regency, North Sumatra, in Indonesia, according to the Straits Times.
Assistant Police Commissioner Maria Marpaung identified the victim as Asgim Irianto.
The alleged attacker, Parlindungan Siregar, reportedly grew increasingly frustrated with Irianto’s persistent questioning regarding his single status.
According to statements provided by Irianto’s wife, Siregar arrived at their home armed with a piece of wood and launched a sudden attack on Irianto.
The victim fled into the street, but Siregar pursued him and delivered a fatal blow to his head. Despite Irianto falling to the ground, Siregar continued to pummel hum until other residents intervened.
Emergency responders rushed Irianto to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries en route.
Siregar was arrested shortly after the attack. Authorities suspect that the motive behind the violence was linked to Siregar’s irritation over Irianto’s repeated inquiries about his marital status.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, the police said.
