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.

Poor guy :O) . . .

"Do your chores or I'll kill you!"

The man was 26? There is more than one issue at play here.

he just cursed me

Under former Jewish law, he could have been stoned to death outside the city gates...

Wow. And my kids thought I was the meanest mom on earth!

She was just trying to sever the umbilical cord and the knife slipped. Who can argue the bum had been depending on mom for life support a tab longer than is normal.

The wors't she should be charged with is practicing medicine without a license, for trying to do what the Doc who attended the delivery failed to do.

In my opinion it's a clear case of malpractice by the doctor who forgot to separate them at birth-sue the doctor!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Maybe so, but little Opie thought you was the dearest Aunt on earth.

Denis is French.

That is the norm in every country on the planet more or less. Families live together and if they can afford it in compounds and only live apart if work or marriage takes them away.

Gee a murder and they are plain old drunken Russians--if they start up an Israeli tech company they are Russian Jewish immigrants.

My mother's mode of choice was always strangulation. "I'm going to strangle you!!!" If I heard it once I heard it a hundred times. If she'd ever actually gone for my neck I think I'da been a bit nervous.

[Anamensis]

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

!!!

'scuze me, I have to go make the bed.

[Anamensis]

"You've made your bed, now you have to lay in it."

.... and bleed!

LOL ! My Mom was always threatening us with a belt. "If you do that again, I'll beat you to death !" The threat was usually enough to work for me, lol !
