Mom's solution to cramped living

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian woman paid a former convict to kill her 17-year-old son because she was fed up with sharing her small one-room apartment with him, the newspaper Izvestia reported on Wednesday.

The 42-year-old crane operator paid the man a 2,100 rouble ($80) deposit to kill her son, Izvestia said. But the would-be hitman told the police who set up a sting operation and arrested her when she handed over the 900 rouble 'completion' payment.

The woman and her son shared the tiny apartment in the Moscow region with their respective partners and there were frequent rows, which became worse when the son's girlfriend became pregnant.

"The woman decided that by snuffing out her son she could solve her housing problems," the paper said.

Prosecutors confirmed the report and said the suspect would be charged soon.

Chronic housing shortages have dogged Russia for decades. The problem has eased slightly since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but many families of several generations still share cramped apartments.

:-* Nothing says "I love you!" like hiring a hitman.

On the plus side, she gets to go from a cramped dirty apartment that she has to pay for to a cramped dirty prison cell that is free of charge! ;)

So he killed him and THEN turned her in? I think he got the order messed up.

I bet the Russian prisons are more crowded than her apartment was.

What in the hell is wrong with people!
