The two men did not know each other before meeting at a drinking spot, AKP La Ode Arsangka, Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Muna Police, told Kumparan.

As they drank, they began joking and exchanging riddles, including the classic debate over whether the chicken or the egg came first.

However, the perpetrator got emotional and left the gathering to get a sharp weapon at home.

When he returned, DR then brutally stabbed Kadir Markus 15 times, Kompas reported.

I am not a birdologist, but I think the chicken came first.

The Non-Chicken Ancestor lays NCA eggs. The eggs begin as a cell of the NCA, and will be laid regardless of if they are fertilized. However, if the egg becomes fertilized, then it would be possible that a chicken matures within an NCA egg.

If Susan lays an egg and Geoffrey hatches from the egg, would you consider it to be Susan's egg or Geoffrey's egg? I believe it to be Susan's egg because possession is nine tenths of bird law and she clearly possesses the egg while nesting.
