Man killed in cinema for eating his Popcorn too loud

A young lawyer has been arrested for killing a man in a cinema after he was confronted for eating popcorn too loudly, Latvian State Police confirmed.

Nikolajs Zikovs fired three gun shots at the 43-year-old banker, Aigers Egle, at the end of the psychological thriller 'Black Swan'. The shots came after a dispute in which the father-of-four reportedly warned Mr Zikovs, who was sitting next to him, of his noisy eating habits at one of Latvian capital Riga's largest movie complexes.

Eyewitnesses claim that during the movie, screened on Saturday, Mr Zikovs was eating popcorn loudly and commenting on the movie while ignoring other audience members' objections, The Baltic Course newspaper reports. As the movie ended, Mr Zikovs pulled out a firearm and shot Mr Egle dead.

According to Toms Sadovskis, a spokesman for Riga Region Administration, witnesses held the killer - a Police Academy graduate - until the police arrived at the Forum Cinemas multiplex and arrested him.

Mr Zikov's solicitors released a statement yesterday that he had acted in self-defence.

Police told Yahoo! News that they are currently investigating the murder case.
