Police say a newspaper carrier in the northern German city of Lueneburg stabbed and killed a customer who had repeatedly complained about delivery problems.
Police said today that the 42-year-old paper man got into an argument with the 51-year-old customer outside the customer's home yesterday afternoon, and stabbed him multiple times with a knife.
A 23-year-old relative of the victim who witnessed the fight grabbed the newspaper carrier and held him until police arrived and arrested him.
The homeowner was rushed to a hospital, but died a short time later.
Neither man was named in keeping with German privacy laws.
