Scientist in remote Antarctic outpost stabs colleague who told him endings of books he was reading
Sergey Savitsky, 55, and Oleg Beloguzov, 52, were avid readers to pass the lonely hours during four harsh years together.

A scientist in a remote outpost in Antarctica plunged a kitchen knife into his colleague because he was fed up with the man telling him the endings of books, say investigators.

Sergey Savitsky, 55, and Oleg Beloguzov, 52, were avid readers to pass the lonely hours during four harsh years together.

But Savitsky became angry after Beloguzov kept telling him the endings, it is alleged.

The victim is now in intensive care after being flown from Russia’s Bellingshausen research station on King George Island to Chile with a knife injury to his heart.

Savitsky is back home in St Petersburg under house arrest and has been charged with attempted murder.

It is believed to the first time a man has been charged with a murder bid in Antartica.

Must not have been Russian literature.

Everybody dies poor and alone in those books. All of them. No spoilers there.

I'm guessing Beloguzov told Savitsky about the 2nd half of "Gone Girl". Justifiable homicide right there.

I did a lot of reading from a very limited library on the boat. I completely get it, and would’ve done the same.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
