Mother stabs son to death for refusing to make his bed

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM

A woman stabbed her son to death in a dispute over his refusal to get off the computer and make his bed, police said Tuesday.

Yelena Avramenko, 49, later admitted to killing her son, Denis, 26, and re-enacted the crime in front of investigators, police said.

"I asked him a number of times to stop playing on the computer and to go and make his bed," the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot quoted the mother as saying.

"After a while I saw him lying on his bed. I asked him again to make his bed but he just cursed me. I got angry and went to the kitchen, and in the heat of the moment I took a knife and stabbed him," she said, according to the paper's Web site.

Police said that at the time of the incident, late Monday, the mother appeared to have been sober, but by the time police arrived at the scene she was drunk and incoherent.

Both mother and son were unemployed. They arrived in Israel two years ago from the former Soviet Union, police said.

An Israeli court on Tuesday ordered the mother held in custody.

Only in Russia. Russia did I say? I meant Israel. What an insane immigration policy.

Are you kidding? That makes America's immigration policy appear strict.....

The Russian immigrants come from such a chaotic, dog eat dog society they are hard pressed to adjust to normal civilization. Just look at the Russian enclaves in New York. Gangs, lawlessness, and every societal disfunction.

Spare the knife, spoil the child. For some reason, this reminded me of an old joke...

Four proofs that Jesus was Jewish:

(1)He went into his father's business, (2) He lived at home until he was 30, (3) He thought his mother was a virgin, and (4) His mother thought he was God.

I'm sorry,but I thought the story was rather funny.

Loser Mom stabs loser son!!!!!

A grown man living with his mother and lounging around the house like a bum. Pretty pathetic.

This only reinforces the stereotype of russians being murderous alcoholics.

Yours and mine both.
Guess it proved she musta loved me in the fact that she never carried through on her threat. Because, by God, did I give her 'just cause' on plenty of occasion. :-)

Absolutely pathetic!

I got a 56 year old sister who works her tail off so her worthless 22 yr old son can roll out of bed at the crack of noon, surf the web and play computer games until the wee hours of the night. Kid can't keep a job so now he doesn't even bother to look!!

Of course she has to keep him supplied in cigarettes too.

If you changed "mother" for "wife" that's in fact how most women pretty much feel about their husbands.
