Assuming the tank and water params are perfect, obviously he just felt like it. Oscars are such odd fish.
That sucks,
I've never had any luck keeping more then one O in the same tank unless there a breeding pair, but even then its a toss up. Its crazy there big babies around other fish (unless they can fit in their mouth of course) but go after each other.

Strange, my two albino O's have a bit tiff from time to time but I cannot imagine them killing each other..
Tank size??
see this is exactly why they say keep one oscar or keep 4 or more. as 2 of the same sex will kill each other opposite sex you may be alright as long as size isn't too different. my 12" red is male and my 10" red albino is female so they get along quite well, though the mating dance can get quite rough.
and even a breeding pair will kill each other in too small a tank.
this is true of any predators really.

True, IMO a breeding pair should have at least 150 gal, or somewhere there abouts
