Ammon News - A 45 year-old man in Indonesia allegedly killed his 60-year-old neighbour after he was hurt and became annoyed by the latter’s persistence in asking him why he was not married.

Indonesian media reported that the incident took place in South Tapanuli regency, located in North Sumatra, on July 29.

The victim was a retired civil servant named Asgim Irianto, said the region’s Assistant Police Commissioner (AKP) Maria Marpaung on July 31, according to Indonesian media outlet Detik Jogja.

AKP Maria said that based on a statement provided by Asgim’s wife, the attacker, Parlindungan Siregar, arrived at their home at about 8pm on July 29 wielding a piece of wood and began attacking the victim without warning.

The police arrested Parlindungan within an hour of the attack, reported Kompas.

According to AKP Maria, Parlindungan said during questioning by police that he was determined to beat Asgim to death because he was hurt by how often his neighbour asked him, in jest, why he was not married.
