Deaf man killed over noise

A BLIND man was jailed for eight years today for killing a deaf man by slashing his throat because he was enraged by the noise coming from his stereo and television.
...
Mr Byrne said Goeldner snapped when he heard Mr Butcher at the administration office telling staff he intended to have a good weekend, believing this meant he would be making a lot of noise.

Goeldner rushed out with a serrated kitchen knife and saw Mr Butcher at the letter boxes and put it to his throat.

He claimed Mr Butcher who had a prosthetic limb and depended on crutches, slipped from his grasp and his throat was slashed after he could no longer support his weight.

Does this make sense? Why did the deaf man have a radio and television? How did the blind man see the deaf man at the letter boxes?

On top of that, how can a blind man rush anywhere and then see someone?

 
Here's something from the original crime 2 years ago: http://www.news24.com/News24/B...3-1345_1244195,00.html

A near-blind Australian slashed the throat of a near-deaf one-legged neighbour for having his television on too loud, a Brisbane court was told Monday.

George Goeldner (47), is on trial for the murder of Francis Butcher (54).

"I want my ears to get a rest when I get home," Goeldner told the court

It seems they were "partially" deaf/blind.
