Man kills neighbour over snoring, arrested

MONTGOMERY COUNTY DISTRICT, US: In a tragic turn of events, a simmering dispute between Hatboro neighbors escalated to violence on Monday. Christopher Casey, 55, was arrested after allegedly stabbing 62-year-old Robert Wallace multiple times with a military-style knife. 

Police found Wallace’s body near Casey’s home, while Casey himself sustained a leg wound and sought medical attention. Both men were treated at Abington Hospital, where Wallace sadly succumbed to his injuries. Police responded to reports of a stabbing at around 6.30pm on Sunday, January 15 January. A joint investigation by Upper Moreland Township Police and Montgomery County Detectives found that the two men were known to police due to ongoing arguments, including some over the defendant’s loud snoring, which the victim could hear through the shared wall of the two residences.
