Police say a South African man who wanted to watch a World Cup match instead of a religious program was beaten to death by his family

David Makoeya, a 61-year-old man from the small village of Makweya, Limpopo province, fought with his wife and two children for the remote control because he wanted to watch Germany play Australia in the World Cup. The others, however, wanted to watch a gospel show. Makoeya got up to change the channel by hand after being refused the remote control and was attacked by his 68-year-old wife Francina and two children, 36-year-old son Collin and 23-year-old daughter Lebogang. It appears they banged his head against the wall. They phoned the police only after he was badly injured, but by the time the police arrived the man was already dead.
