A 75-year-old retired teacher was found dead with his neck slashed after his neighbor allegedly went berserk inside the lobby of their Queens apartment building, police and neighbors said.<\/p>\n
Cops discovered George Dournadounas with a fatal neck wound when they responded to a reported slashing at his Astoria home at 25-75 33rd St. around 1:40 p.m., according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n
He died at the scene and one of his neighbors, Dimitrios Manessis, 48, was later arrested and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said. <\/p>\n

A horrified neighbor said the retired high school math teacher was allegedly murdered by a knife-wielding \u201cmentally ill\u201d tenant he frequently clashed with.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came home today and apparently the neighbor who he didn\u2019t get along with attacked him and killed him,\u201d Ray told The Post Tuesday night. \u201cI just can\u2019t believe it happened. They didn\u2019t get along but George was a very nice person, he never bothered anybody and he came home and he got killed. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a very nice, mellow man. This guy just didn\u2019t like him. George never did anything to make this man mad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The local added the alleged killer often harassed the victim, mocking his Greek heritage and hurling expletives at him.<\/p>\n
