A scientist accused of attempted murder in Antarctica stabbed his colleague because “he was fed up with the man telling him the endings of books,” it has been claimed.


Scientific engineer Sergey Savitsky, 55, became enraged and stabbed welder Oleg Beloguzov, 52, with a kitchen knife.

It is believed to be the first time a man has been charged with attempted murder in Antarctica.


The men had previously spent four harsh years at Russia’s isolated Bellingshausen station King George Island, part of the South Shetland island group.

Russian investigators are probing a version of events in which both men became avid readers to pass the lonely hours in the remote facility.

But Savitsky had become enraged that Beloguzov “kept telling his colleague the endings of books before he read them”.

The wounded man was evacuated to Chile with a knife injury to the chest.


His heart was injured in the attack and he was admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital but his life is understood not to be in danger.

The alleged attacker was deported to Russia’s second city St Petersburg where he was immediately arrested and a criminal probe launched.

Film at 11... 😟

Sounds to me like he had it coming

Guess he should have kept reading and his mouth shut.

Prolly Beloguzov was on the Soros payroll, and Savitsky became enraged at true news. Rumor has it that Putin said there are good people on both sides of the pole. Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins are marching to the pole to find safe haven from the ruthless Emperor and King penguins.

Let's be honest.
If you're cooped up with one dude for 4 years with no forms of entertainment besides books, wouldn't you do the same thing?

stab him? Or, keep offering the tale-tail, Tail?

Coulda just smacked him around a little bit... 😟

ROTFLMAO

try saying that 3 times fast.

coulda just called us.

If he had dissected the guy with a butter knife this would be a much more interesting story.If I had put up with his schit for 4 years I would have dissected him with a pair of finger nail clippers.

You're always twisting your tongue around tail...

jealous?

Not a "happy ending" at all....

Those Chilean hospitals used to be understaffed
Germ factories in the 80's....
Not a place you want to go with heart trouble.
