He was said to have stabbed Morado to death to avenge a spat that occurred between them over a missing lunch box.
According to a report on Monday by the Times of India, Samuel, a BBA student in KNS College near Hebbal, had on Saturday afternoon gone to an African food joint for lunch taking Morado’s lunch box to get some chicken in it.
While returning home, he forgot the box in the food joint and wrapped the chicken in aluminum foil instead. When Samuel came to Morado’s house with the food, Morado, who was drunk, became furious to find his lunch box missing and slapped Samuel and hurled insults at him.
Police said that people intervened and broke the argument between the duo before Samuel returned to his room.

At about 3:30 am on Sunday, Samuel went back to Morado’s room and stabbed him with a kitchen knife.
Police added that the neighbours alerted the police control room on hearing the duo shout at each other.
