A scientist plunged a kitchen knife into his colleague as he was fed up with the man telling him the endings of books, say investigators.

Sergey Savitsky, 55, and Oleg Beloguzov, 52, would pass the lonely hours during four harsh years together in a remote outpost in Antarctica by reading.

However Savitsky became angry after Beloguzov kept telling him the endings, it has been claimed.

Daily Record reports that the victim is now in intensive care with a knife injury to his heart.

He was flown from Russia's Bellingshausen research station on King George Island to Chile following the alleged attack.

Savitsky is back home in St Petersburg under house arrest.

He has been charged with attempted murder.

It is believed to the first time a man has been charged with a murder bid in Antartica.

Kaelan look at this nonsense

 

[shaneo632]

Fair, next.

 

[BWoog]

Was that the reason though?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Set this man free

 

[Dook's Revenge]

Throw the book at him.

 

[Dr. Mario]

 

[Terminus]

Justified

Throw out the case

 

[Regiruler]

When all you have to do is read books, yeah I'd be pissed.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Justified.

 

[Brashnir]

spoiler culture has gotten out of control.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Throw the book at him.

I legitimately wanna know if Beloguzov would say "worth it"

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

Understandable reaction tbh

 

[Jesse_and_the_rippers]

There's not a jury in the world that would convict him.

Maybe Texas.

 

[Veelk]

Seems like a measured response to me.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

Isnt The Mirror a tabloid?

 

[ry-dog]

I was going to come in and make some lame joke, but a knife injury to the heart is very serious - hopefully he pulls through

This surprises me. Spending months in a remote Outpost surely would drive many people up the wall

 

[Dernhelm]

Think he tried to do the same thing to his lawyer when he tried to tell him how this case would end ahead of time?

Nope, but spoilers sure did.
Like how Thanos is in Avengers 4

Man's got a point

 

[Biceps King]

If he brought his Amazon Kindle fire he could have kept his books a secret and not had them spoiled. No excuses for the stabber in any context

 

[0VERBYTE]

I wouldnt have gone for murder. Probably just went for a leg or something. So he couldnt easily counter.

 

[Kyougar]

Are we sure it is not those mind control earworms from X-Files?

 

[kyle mechlachlan]

Luckily Antarctica is a lawless land so he should be ok.

Exact image I was expecting.

 

[Sweeney Swift]

I'd allow it

 

[NekoFever]

Spoilerphobia has crossed into violence.

 

[Richietto]

For real though while terrible and completely wrong I can see why someone would lose their cool like that in those circumstances.

Belugazov could not help himself, knowing that Savitsky would wake up in the middle of the night with a cold sweat, shouting hysterically, "No! I'm not listening to you!" It was just too boring out in this veritable desert of ice.

Well, he took it too far. Savitsky snapped. he was reading Breaking Dawn, the last book in the acclaimed Twilight series. Belugazov would NOT spoil this for him, even if it meant wrenching the life from his beating heart!

Even as he sits with a shackle on his hands, Savitsky leans in the chair with a subtle, confident smirk on his face, knowing he can finally conclude the amazing story of Bella in peace.

Spoil this, you piece of shit, Savitsky thought.

 

[Mona]

 

[Akira86]

well I hope he learns his lesson.

don't be a dick in isolated frozen wastes.

On October 9, in an isolated Russian Antarctic research station at the bottom of the world, Sergei Savitsky snapped, according to several news reports.

Oleg Beloguzov, a 52 year-old welder, had been fighting with Savitsky, a 54 year-old electrical engineer, for months. But this time was different: Beloguzov allegedly teased Savitsky by suggesting that he should dance on top of the dining room table for money. Savitsky, who was dangerously intoxicated, lunged at Beloguzov with a knife and stabbed him in the chest several times.

The news came out the same time as that rectangular iceberg:

 

[SliceSabre]

Knew I couldn't trust those spoilerphobia people.

 

[Doggg]

So The Thing was actually a pretty accurate portrayal of life in Antarctica (without all the space alien body horror, anyway).

 

[Halo 2]

deserved it tbh

 

[large_gourd]

4 years isolated

just the two of them and some books to keep them sane

one of them keeps ruining all the books

i can't really judge this guy on society's usual standards

Perhaps not many people had that big of an asshole of a coworker.

Imagine if your coworker would piss on your seat every day just because he enjoys seeing your reaction.

I do not agree with the stabbing to the heart, but this guy obviously doesn't care that he is using the detriment of others for his own gain (entertainment).

Don't be an asshole.

I had a friend who used to do this with games. I would get 80% of the way through and he would drop a spoiler like it was no big deal. Don't talk to him anymore.

I wonder if the other man got the point?

I just came here to see how many replies it would take to get to The Thing.
