Police in India have charged a Nigerian man with murdering his friend after a heated argument over whether Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is the world’s best footballer, AFP news agency reports.
Michael Chukwuma, 21, stabbed Obinna Durumchukwu, 34, on Sunday in the northern Mumbai suburb of Nallasopara following an argument over the two footballers, police Inspector Kiran Kabadi is quoted as saying.
They had apparently got together on Saturday night to celebrate Mr Durumchukwu’s birthday on Sunday, but the following morning an argument over football turned to tragedy.
“The two Nigerian youngsters were discussing football players. One is a fan of [Barcelona’s] Messi and the other was for [Real Madrid’s] Ronaldo. During the conversation a quarrel has taken place,” the inspector is quoted as saying.
“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,” he added, AFP reports.
