A MAN beat a Peeping Tom to death after he watched him having sex with his girlfriend through a window, cops say.
Victor Vickery, 30, was arrested on Thursday on a manslaughter charged by Fort Lauderdale police after carrying out a lengthy investigation into the death of Asaad Akar, 57, in July 2018.
Sgt Steven Novak said Vickery had told the cops he was in bed with his girlfriend Samantha Hobi in her Fort Lauderdale home “and they were getting intimate when they heard a scratching on the window and possibly somebody pulling on it.”
Vickery claimed the same thing had happened on a previous occasion when he was there.
He is then said to have run outside naked and barefoot to confront Akar, who had exposed himself.
A brawl then broke out with both men exchanging blows and kicks.
Vickery informed the cops that he feared for his safety during the brawl, according to reports.
He told police that Akar had lunged at him, got on top of him and began choking him.
Hobi called the cops in a three-minute call and can be heard saying: “Tori stop, Tori that’s enough.”
Akar died in hospital two hours later of blunt force trauma to his head and body.
The officer said in the arrest report that during the investigation he had obtained evidence showing that Akar had been “peeping into windows” at different addresses and had a “previous history of arrests for doing the same”.
Novak also added that several weeks after the girlfriend had informed cops she had hit Akar with a shovel, she withdrew that statement, saying Vickery had told her to say that.
A month after the killing, a woman accused Vickery of sexually assaulting her, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel.
According to the paper Vickery has also been arrested for domestic violence, car theft and unlawful possession of prescription drugs.
Vickery, from Delray Beach, Florida, was jailed in relation to the killing on $100,000 (£77.000) bail.
