A terrible incident occurred in a small town in Russia on December 31st. A family was preparing for a New Year's Eve party. The father was in the lounge ironing clothes and the mother was in the kitchen chopping sausages and cabbage. Their young son was running around the house with a pair of scissors and generally getting in everyone's way.

Suddenly, the boy accidentally bumped into his mother and the scissors sliced into the back of her leg. The mother fell backwards and the knife slipped from her grasp. The small boy was right underneath her and the knife went straight through his chest and pierced his heart. He was killed instantly. The mother screamed in horror and the father came running into the room. When he saw the dead child lying on the kitchen floor, he flew into a fit of anger and struck the mother in the head with the iron. Realizing what he had done, he went outside and committed suicide, hanging himself from a tree.

When police discovered the horrible scene, they arrested the pair of scissors and it spent seven years in prison!
