For a hungry cow in Kratie town, perhaps the grass really is always greener on the other side.

The cow’s owner, not wanting to displease his prize bovine, let it graze in his neighbour’s garden, much to the chagrin of the garden’s owner.

After a heated exchange, the suspect took and axe and cleaved the victim’s skull, police said.

He was hospitalised, but told police in hospital that the suspect should have stopped, but he was “too cruel”. DEUM AMPIL
