KILLED IN FRONT OF HIS FIANCÉE

While walking near the metrobus stop, a dispute broke out with an unidentified person over 'you looked at me sideways'. In the quickly escalating argument, the enraged attacker attacked the young man, ignoring the screams of his fiancée and mother-in-law.
FIRST ATTACKED, THEN STABBED WHILE ON THE GROUND
