A Texas man is accused of stabbing his roommate to death because the man complained about his smelly feet, police said Monday.
William Antonio Serrano, 20, was charged with murder. "Serrano and the victim, who are roommates, got into an argument in which the victim told Serrano his feet had a foul odor," police said in a statement. "At that time, Serrano retrieved a knife and stabbed the victim numerous times." The Houston Chronicle said the two men rented a small bedroom in a Houston apartment from a married couple with a baby. The mother and child were sitting outside Saturday evening when the men started drinking in their room. They started fighting about the man's "stinky feet" and the woman peered into the room to see one of the men holding a knife in his hands, said Sgt. M. Sosa of the homicide squad. "By the time she got inside, he was on top of the other man," he told the paper. He was not immediately available for an interview. The women fled and called for help, and then the roommate "comes after her and says, 'I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it,'" Sosa said. The victim's identity was not released. He was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple stab wounds.
