Page "Othello" Paragraph 20
from
Wikipedia
Roderigo complains that he has received nothing for his efforts and threatens to abandon his pursuit of Desdemona, but Iago convinces him to kill Cassio instead, because Cassio has just been appointed governor of Cyprus, and — Iago argues — if Cassio lives to take office, Othello and Desdemona will leave Cyprus, thwarting Roderigo's plans to win Desdemona.
When Cassio identifies Roderigo as one of his attackers, Iago secretly stabs Roderigo to stop him from confessing.
