Man killed for singing Sinatra off-key June 25 2003A 25-year-old Filipino man has been stabbed dead for singing a Frank Sinatra classic out of tune during a birthday party.
Police officer Noel Albis said the victim, Casimiro Lagugad, was asked to sing Sinatra's popular song My Way during the party in the Manila suburban city of Caloocan on Sunday.
"Witnesses said the suspect, Julio Tugas, 48, one of the guests and a neighbour of the victim, got irked because Lagugad was singing out of tune," Officer Albis said.
"Tugas suddenly attacked the victim and stabbed him in the neck," he added.
Guests rushed Mr Lagugad to the hospital, but he died while being treated.
Tugas later surrendered to village security officials, who turned him over to authorities.
Police are preparing homicide charges against the suspect, who apparently admitted to the crime.
The guy should have sung Dylan instead. No chance of being any more off key than he was to begin with.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!
