Indian police said Monday
a man has been charged with murdering his friend after a heated argument over
whether Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is the world's best footballer.
AFP
report continues:
They
said the Nigerian national stabbed one of his countrymen to death after the two
of them wrangled over whether the Barcelona star or the Real Madrid forward was
better.
Police
Inspector Kiran Kabadi told AFP an offence of murder had been registered
against Michael Chukwuma, 21, over the death of 34-year-old Obina Durumchukwu
on Sunday in the northern Mumbai suburb of Nallasopara.
The
friends had apparently got together on Saturday night to celebrate
Durumchukwu's birthday. The following morning an argument over football turned
to tragedy.
"The
two Nigerian youngsters were discussing football players. One is a fan of Messi
and the other was for Ronaldo," the inspector said.
"During
the conversation a quarrel has taken place. The deceased threw a glass into the
face of the accused person. The glass broke and caused small injuries.
"After
that the accused took the broken glass and assaulted the deceased person who
died due to heavy bleeding," added Kabadi.
No one was available for
comment at the Nigerian high commission (embassy) in New Delhi.
