Careful, your next "Referee kayu!" chant may cost you your life

A cricket umpire killed a teenaged spectator in Bangladesh by hitting him on the head with a bat in a dispute over a contested decision, police said Sunday.

Nazrul Islam, 15, ran onto the pitch during an amateur game in the remote northern district of Kishoreganj and started an argument with the umpire, who took one of the players’ bats and hit the teenager.

Islam showed no serious injury from the blow during the game on Friday but suffered an internal haemorrhage overnight and died in hospital the following day.

The umpire has gone into hiding.
