A Man Who Constantly Asked His Neighbor Why He Wasn’t Married Was Killed
NORTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA – A man who constantly asked his neighbor why he wasn’t married was killed.
A personal inquiry is a question or request for information that pertains to someone’s private life or personal details. It often involves asking about topics like relationships, lifestyle, or personal circumstances.
Personal inquiries are usually made out of curiosity or concern but can sometimes be seen as intrusive if they delve too deeply into someone’s private matters.
On July 29, 2024, a 60-year-old man named Asgim Irianto was killed over a personal matter in the South Tapanuli regency. He was attacked and killed by his 45-year-old neighbor named Parlindungan Siregar
According to reports, the conflict started when Parlindungan repeatedly questioned Asgim about why he wasn’t married at the age of 45. The relentless questioning seemed to deeply upset Parlindungan.
That night, he went to Asgim’s house with a piece of wood and, without warning, attacked him.
Asgim tried to escape and ran into the street, but Parlindungan pursued him. He struck Asgim on the head with the wood, causing him to fall. Despite the efforts of nearby residents to intervene, Parlindungan continued to beat Asgim until they managed to stop him.
The victim was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, he passed away before arriving. Meanwhile, Parlindungan was arrested about an hour after the attack.
In his confession to the police, Parlindungan admitted that he was determined to kill Asgim because he was hurt by the constant questioning about his marital status.
