'un-negotiable Taxi Fare' - strong enough reason to kill?

Reading 'Cabbie killed over fare', surely makes the mind wonder.

Is it a strong enough motive to kill? Surely there's some other reason?

Or have this sweet country of ours has been producing killers overnight?
Btw, have you ever taken a ride on any taxis these days, or maybe I could rephrase that, 'have you been taken for a ride by any taxi drivers lately?'

Taxis are driven by vultures as drivers, especially the ones preying on their victims at Puduraya. Meters, no can do. It's fixed price there.

Enforcement. He he he, are you joking?

Cabbie killed over fare

KUALA LUMPUR: A taxi driver was stabbed to death in Puduraya.

Wong was stabbed by one of the men when he refused to reduce the fare.
