A family feud between a father and his juvenile son in Nandi’s Kapkoros area turned fatal when the 42-year-old man succumbed to injuries inflicted on him by a blunt rod.
The two were on Monday night reported to have engaged in a heated scuffle over an unestablished matter, before resorting to a punch-up that saw the enraged 17-year-old land the heavy rod on his father’s head.
The man was rushed to Miteitei hospital while unconscious by his neighbors, but unfortunately, he succumbed yesterday while still undergoing treatment at the facility.
