A 66-year old Sydney man died in hospital on Wednesday after an altercation with a younger man over watering restrictions. The man had been watering his lawn via a garden hose at 5:30pm when an argument between the two started.

It's great to see that the younger man was so invoked by the common practise of many gardeners to water their gardens despite the drought, that he confronted the older man about this. Yet, how immensely sad it is that someone would kill another human being for watering their lawn.

Even more regretful is that the older man was complying with the water restrictions.
