Russian stabs fishing buddy over poor catch

Moscow, May 3 (IANS) A man in Russia stabbed his fishing buddy to death after blaming him for ruining their fishing day with a poor catch, an official said Thursday.

Olga Shamanskaya, a senior aide to the Krasnoyarsk Investigative Committee, said the men, both intoxicated, began arguing about the small catch in the car on the way back home.

The victim blamed the poor catch on the suspect because he had arrived late and they were unable to find a good fishing spot, reported RIA Novosti.

"...the suspect, who was driving the vehicle, drove off the road into the ditch and stabbed his friend four times in the chest," Shamanskaya said.

She said the suspect then called the victim's relatives to report the incident and they arrived and took him to the hospital where he later died.
