A 28-year-old man has killed his pregnant neighbour for repeatedly asking him “When are you getting married?”

The victim had been urging her killer, Faiz Nurdin, to tie the knot. Exasperated at being asked too many times Nurdin decided to take her life.

Indonesian paper Mulut Puaka reported that the incident took place in Kampung Pasir Jonge, Indonesia.

“The suspect revealed that the woman said, ‘Faster get married, the others are already married, why aren’t you getting married yet?’ These words offended the suspect,” a spokesperson from the police force said.

Later that day, Nurdin visited Aisyah, 32 in her home and strangled her to death even as she expected to give birth.

“The suspect then stole some money worth RM 230 and the victim’s smartphone in the room,” the police added.

Nurdin fled the scene but was caught by authorities after being shot in the leg.

He now faces life imprisonment.
