Stabbing, Obsession & A War Contract Instead of Prison

In this episode of From Russia with Fear, we cover four disturbing crime stories from across Russia. A mother in St. Petersburg is charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her son in the neck inside a parcel pickup point. In Moscow, a woman is fighting for her life after a rejected admirer allegedly beat her, chased her with a shotgun, and pushed her from a fourth-floor window before taking his own life. We also examine the controversial case of a man accused of trying to burn a well-known artist alive, whose criminal trial was suspended after he signed a military contract. And in the Irkutsk region, a five-hour fuel queue escalated into a confrontation so serious that a police officer was forced to draw his firearm. From violent family conflicts to controversial justice decisions and growing public tensions, these are the latest crime and public safety stories making headlines across Russia.
