  • Man kills friend for 'poking' his girlfriend on Facebook
A British man has been sent to jail for killing his friend because he "poked" his girlfriend on Facebook.
 
Scott Humphrey, 27, punched 29-year-old Richard Rovetto to death in a cab on their way back from a boys' night out, wtsp.com reported.
