The drunk man, confusing his house with a stranger, killed its owner

Resident of Missouri this week was charged with manslaughter in the first degree. The situation that resulted in the criminal prosecution, can be called funny. Being in a state of alcoholic intoxication, 43-year-old resident of Raytown, Michael G. Augustine, after work went to his home. He approached the house and not even noticed, he is not at home, but in someone else’s yard. In the room the man could not get there and apparently picking up the keys, spent a long time at the entrance. The door was opened by the owner. Thinking that broke into my house the robber, Augustine attacked him and began to choke, until the latter ceased resistance. The most amazing thing is that when he heard the door rustle, Augustine even before the door was open, I called the «hotline 911» and stated that the house criminal. Description named at the police, of course, discovered no one, including the owner. But down the street they waited for the next call.

As it turned out, the victim was the owner of the house, on the threshold of which the murder occurred. This is a 60-year-old military veteran Clifton king. Neighbors described the deceased as a kind and sympathetic person.

Several residents of the street told FOX 4 that while the victim was homeless because could not find work after retiring.
