MOSCOW, August 1 (RIA Novosti) – A Russian court handed down a seven-year jail term on murder charges to a man convicted of stabbing his grandmother 47 times and writing “sorry” on her body, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Prosecutors in the Leningrad Region said in a statement Thursday that in December 2012 the man, Maxim Usik, had an argument with his grandmother – who had brought him up after his mother’s death – over the volume of alcohol he had consumed, and attacked her with a knife.
The woman, born in 1938, died at the scene in the town of Vyborg. Usik later “wrote the word ‘sorry’ on her naked body, hid the body in a wardrobe and nailed it up,” the statement said. He also wrote a note of confession containing some obscene words.
Usik pleaded guilty, the statement said.
