A UK man killed his close friend over a row over which game to play on their Xbox, reports Metro.
“Azeem Issa lost it because he wanted to play Ultimate Fighting Challenge while his victim, Sahill Roy, and others wanted to play FIFA.”
Days later, the two had still not calmed down and exchanged jokes about one another’s mothers.
It was at this point the two got into an argument and Issa stabbed Sahill in the neck with a 4cm flick-knife.
In a victim impact statement from Mr Roy’s family, his mother Masira Manandhar said: ‘He was my eldest son, and had two siblings, Rubecca and Azaad.
“He was planning to get married next year. He wanted to travel and share his experience with her and eventually go on to have his own family.”
“He loved playing sports, particularly football, and he was an avid gamer who loved his PlayStation.”
