The dreadful incident happened in Poltava: the mother-in-law finished her lustful son-in-law off who had been humiliating his family.

As it became known from sources, long-term family conflict between mother-in-law and son-in-law ended with a cruel murder because male, 37 often drank alcohol, met with his lovers and did not bring up his children.
His wife was rather patient and calm. But mother-in-law was so anxious about her daughter and grandchildren that had been swearing with her son-in-law.

The tragedy happened when male again came home being drunk and turned his wife, mother-in-law and two children out. The pensioner returned home, took a knife in the kitchen and beat her son-in-law with a knife.
Wounded male tried to rescue himself. He ran out to the entryway calling for help. But his mother-in-law ran home down and hit him with a knife for 8 times.

Neighbors had heard the noise and called an ambulance car and militia. But they did not rescue male. He died before the coming of doctors of fatal hemorrhage.
Militia had seen a strange picture: mother-in-law was standing near the bloody corpse and eating the cake. According to neighbors, they saw female was running to the kitchen, took the cake out of refrigerator, returned to the entryway and began to eat.

Currently this female, 56 is detained. She is in the isolation ward. The suspect confessed at the first interrogation she “was dreaming about murder of her son-in-law for a long time”. Law enforcement initiated a suit according to the article “premeditated murder”. Investigation is being carried out.

Kiev - A Ukrainian animal trainer survived a bear attack that left him unconscious and under water for close to four minutes, a local media report said Friday. The incident took place near the town Novy Rozdol in the western Lviv region, after Volodymyr Herbovy, working for the travelling circus Europa, decided to bathe his trained bear Mishka in a lake during warm weather.

The female brown bear turned on Herbovy and forced him under the water, Fakty newspaper quoted witnesses as saying.

The animal abandoned Herbovy after he stopped moving. Passers-by distracted the animal by shouting and throwing rocks.

Vasyl Parashchak, a water services officer for Ukraine's Ministry of Emergency Situations, arrived on the scene and was able to pull the Herbovy out of the water.

A subsequent attempt by the bear to attack her unconscious trainer was beaten off with a fishing pole abandoned by fisherman on the bank of the lake, Parashchak said.

"I hit her several times on the snout, and she went away," he said. "It was not a pleasant feeling to see the bear coming at me."

The emergency worker attempted to resuscitate Herbovy without success. An initial check by an ambulance team arriving on the scene showed the animal trainer's pulse and breathing to have stopped.

Medical workers working overnight brought Herbovy back to consciousness. He was listed in serious but stable condition, and is expected to recover fully, said Olha Sheludko, chief doctor of the Novy Rozdol district hospital.

Another two or three minutes underwater would have been fatal to Herbovy, Sheludko said.

Circus workers recovered the bear without incident. The evening show went on as scheduled, although Mishka did not perform.

Managers at Europa Circus declined comment on the incident.
