Furious over smell of cigarettes in flat, non-smoker cuts off roommate's penis

Having people smoking around can be an unpleasant experience for some non-smokers, but how far would someone go to make it stop? Most people would consider asking smokers to stop politely, but then there are always those who take things too far.

A man from Moscow was so furious about his roommate’s cigarettes leaving an odour in the flat, that he actually chopped off the man’s penis over it. The mutilated remains of Eduard Assylov were found by neighbours leading police to believe he was attacked by a love rival.

But soon his 45-year-old flatmate confessed to the killing Assylov after he went berserk during one of many arguments over smoking. The mechanic’s arms and legs had been severed and his penis was lying on top of a blood soaked pillow.

The accused has been charged with murder and faces trial.
