The tragic incident occurred yesterday in Mumbai, India. Chukwuma
Nwabu, 22, (top left) argued that Ronaldo is better, and attacked his
friend, Durumchukwu Obinna Michael (top right), when he didn’t agree.
Michael had just turned 34 a day before. He was a Messi fan.
The two men and a group of friends had gathered at a friend’s house
to celebrate Michael’s birthday on Saturday night. By Sunday morning,
most of the friends had left, while the owner of the house retired to
the bedroom. Michael and Nwabu continued to hang out at the house and
were watching a football match.
An argument later broke out about who is the better footballer.
Michael supported Argentina and Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, while
Nwabu argued that Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid and Portugal star) was
better. Verbal abuses began to fly and Nwabu hit Michael, who threw a
glass tumbler at him in retaliation.
The tumbler missed Nwabu’s head and smashed on the wall instead.
Incensed, Nwabu picked up a broken glass shard and rammed it into
Michael’s throat, killing him. Nwabu was later arrested by the Tulinj
police. All those at the birthday party were Nigerians in Mumbai on
student visas.
