And, they never thought to separate them?

Because they could hear each other? Well switch off your hearing aids, then.

Given the fact that the two old men had been having disputes for some time, I think they were undoubtedly on unfriendly terms. I mean, the more two people hate each other, the more louder they hear the other party's noise than it really is. Chances were that the culprit hated the victim like poison. Nevertheless, the 75-year-old man has absolutely crossed the line by strangling to death the 70-year-old occupant. What stamina he has! I think he wouldn't have to be placed in a nursing home from the beginning.

Is neighbor the correct term? I thought I was going to read about a guy that hated his next door neighbor for noise or some other silly thing.
