However, neighbours said the duo had been at loggerhead lately over flimsy differences. For example, it was said that the victim recently beat up the landlord's wife and left her with a scar on her body during the fight.
Police spokesman, Bala Elkana, said the suspect would be arraigned in court after the current lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus disease.
