DAGUPAN CITY, Philippines – An Iranian student stabbed and killed a fellow Iranian following a heated argument on Sunday night, police said on Monday.
Bagher Nasserosta, 27, a nursing student in one of the universities here, died while being taken to the Decena General Hospital, said Superintendent Christopher Abrahano, city police chief.
Abrahano said Nasserosta was visited by fellow Iranian and nursing student, Afshin Mamdavi, in his apartment in Barangay Bonuan Gueset here at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
He said Nasserosta may have been trying to collect the money he lent to Mamdavi, leading to a heated discussion.
The exchange turned violent when Mamdavi, 38, suddenly took out a knife and stabbed Nasserosta on the chest.
Abrahano said Mamdavi was arrested and detained at the city police station.
