CityonSMASH Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 JOHANNESBURG -- Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family in the northeastern part of the country. David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control on Sunday because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show. "He said, 'No, I want to watch soccer,'" police spokesman Mothemane Malefo said Thursday. "That is when the argument came about. "In that argument, they started assaulting him." Malefo said Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang. Malefo said he was not sure what the family used to kill Makoeya. "It appears they banged his head against the wall," Malefo said. "They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead." All three were arrested Sunday night, but Lebogang was released on $200 bail Tuesday, Malefo said. The other two are still being held in custody. The World Cup, being played in Africa for the first time, started Friday and runs through July 11. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/id/5297052/ce/us/south-african-man-killed-wife-kids-changing-tv-germany-australia-game&cc=5901?ver=us this was the mans oldest son responsible for the eventual cause of death and his estranged friend whom alsoassisted in the attack: that was a joke. but the article/story is factual.

gasfacevictm Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nice, all in the name of gospel? Although, soccer fans should be beaten. Not to death, but beaten all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realism Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Soccer sucks. Religion sucks. Or at least the people who rabidly follow it do. Televised gospel programs definitely suck. Last but not least, Africa sucks. Disease, heat, famine and corruption. The only thing I can feel about it is that apparently murder only carries a 200 dollar bond. Whole lotta suck going on here.
