Who’s
the better footballer, Messi or Ronaldo? This debate – common among
football lovers the world over – cost a life in Mumbai, India on
Sunday. A Nigerian killed one of his countrymen at Nalasopara after
their argument turned violent.
Police
said the man who was killed, Obinna Michael Durumchukwa, 34, was
celebrating his birthday with his friend Nwabu Chukwuma, 22, at a
rented flat, when they started to argue over who the better player is
— the Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo or his counterpart at
Barcelona, Lionel Messi.
Durumchukwa,
we gathered flung a glass at Chukwuma, which missed him and broke
against the wall. Chukwuma then picked up a shard of glass and cut
his friend’s throat in a fit of rage, said police inspector, Kiran
Kabadi of Tulinj station.
The
neighbours, who heard the commotion, informed the police who rushed
to the spot.
Several
Nigerian nationals live in the same building.
A
police team arrested the accused on the charge of murder and will
produce him in court on Monday, said Kabadi.
According
to the police, Durumchukwa was staying in a rented flat in Mahesh
Apartments, Oswal Nagari, on Link Road, Nalasopara (east) with
Chukwuma and some more friends for the past few months. Chukwuma’s
visa has expired; while Durumchukwa’s passport and visa had expired
two months ago.
The
police are trying to find out why Durumchukwa did not renew his
passport and visa. Both were celebrating the birthday with beer since
morning, said the police.
