-

A CHEF has been charged with murder after a row over how SPICY to make a fish stew got out of hand.

Orlando Thompson was working at a restaurant in Florida when his co-worker Caleb Halley criticised his gumbo, saying it was too hot.

The pair started to argue about how the Southern American dish should be cooked authentica­lly.

Thompson, 33, lost his temper and the pair started fighting in the kitchen of the restaurant where they worked.

Halley was attacked with a knife and slashed across the chest, leaving his internal organs exposed.

The 27-year-old died two days later.

Thompson was arrested and has been charged with murder after being quizzed by cops.
