On the 13th December, Englishman Alexander Christian York was sentenced to Five Years max for the stabbing death of Scottish biochemist Rudi Boa during an argument over evolution. The argument happened in January of Last Year. York, traveling alone, and Boa, with his girlfriend, were backpacking in Blowering Holiday Park, near Tumut, New South Wales, when Boa suffered mortal wounds at the hand of York.

Wouldn’t really say the topic of the barney was a big factor, but thought one of the commenters had an interesting take on things:
“...creationists often claim that evolution is behind many evils in the world and that it causes people to devalue life and thus do things like go on killing sprees. And this incident shows that they are right: evolution leads creationists to devalue life and kill people. At least irony isn't dead.”
NB. The article says the creationist was English, committing the crime in Australia.
With Englishman in the summary I should have gotten that headline correct. Updated.
