Resident of Nizhniy Novgorod killed a pensioner over a cat
The inhabitant of the town Bor in the Nizhegorodskaya Oblast is a suspect in the murder of a pensioner after a conflict broke out over their pets. The local headquarters of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported this on their website on the 19th March.
The 27 year old suspect was arrested, and he is to be charged under the fourth part of article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing bodily injury leading to death). On the Investigative Committee’s website, they state that the suspect is not a marginalised member of society: he is employed, and has no criminal record.
According to the investigators, on the 16th March, the man met the 62 year old pensioner outside a shop, drunk on spirits. The pensioner’s dog had earlier bitten the man’s cat to death.
The investigators have found that an argument broke out between the former cat owner and the dog owner. The man beat the pensioner up and disappeared. Bystanders took the victim home where he died soon after.

One fewer alcoholic.
Ivan Simonov:
Dog owners are at war with cat owners. A holy war is unfolding before our eyes.
Elena Troshneva:
They should have called out an ambulance rather than taking him home (
And the dog doesn’t have an owner any more … he’ll probably be put down (
Ilya Igumnov:
He did right, the old bastard’s bloody dog bit his favourite cat! Justice!
Khadzhi-Murat Dotdaev:
The word “pensioner” is very abstract, could have been a 55 year old war veteran who’s seen action all over the world, and he started the fight himself.
Sergey Gerasimov:
The guy loves his cat
Vasily Novikov:
He did right. Shame that he popped his clogs, of course, but it’s no big deal.
Alik Babekyan:
I prefer loving people, rather than animals …
Peresichna Osoba:
PETA triumphs!
Roman Lyamin:
Nice one, fella! Shame he’s gonna have to do time now
Igor Savchuk:
I wonder whether the dumbfucks who didn’t call an ambulance will be charged?
Ekaterina Ivanova:
IMHO, it would have been easier to kill the dog.
Mitya Novikov:
Citizens, we need to do something with our people. Neither humans or animals have any mercy … (
Alyona Chalkina:
I hate cats, blin
Ilya Cherkashin:
He did right. Cats are better than people. The old drunkard won’t unleash his hound on anyone any more.
