woman kills husband for forgetting birthday

[Indian]

Story.

A woman killed her husband because he forgot her 45th birthday.
Lyalya Tupikova told police that her husband Khalpik failed to remember her special day before going to work in the morning.
When he returned home again from his office job, she was expecting a bunch of flowers and a present - but he brought nothing.

[Duckster]

Now she will remember her own birthday the rest of her life in jail, and no one will share it with her.

[billfish678]

I suspect when the singing clown with the flowers telegram showed up minutes later someone's face was red red red.

[OneMissedPost]

Wow. Some people are just plain crazy.

[lieu]

Love means never having to say don't stab me in the chest with a kitchen knife.

[Rhiannon8404]

Geez, if your birthday is so important, don't let him forget. I get really annoyed by anyone who whines about their SO forgetting a birthday or anniversary.

[the lone cashew]

I wonder if their marriage was otherwise loving and healthy or whether there were a few other ongoing problems in the relationship that led to the birthday killing? Gee, I just don't know..

Perhaps no one will ever know, now.

[Alessan]

Well, that'll teach him.

[Sunspace]

He'll never remember it again. Way to go, Lyalya.

[Indian]

Best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.

[PhiloVance]

Maybe birthday's are not a big thing to guys in Russia.

Now we'll never know, will we?

[needscoffee]

In Russia, birthday girl gives YOU present!

[carnivorousplant]

Does the Daily Mail have a reputation for... exaggeration?

[Omar Little]

If she had only known that her husband was a Seventh Day Adventist.

We joke the reason our wedding anniversary is on Valentines Day was so mrAru doesn't have to try and remember when it is, just get me a gift for every holiday =) The silly truth is that it was the first day he managed to get the day off early enough after my divorce went through and I was legally able to get hitched. I don't really associate Valentines Day with anything normally anyway, I wasn't raised catholic and as far as I was concerned it was a ploy by candy and card companies to get people to spend money.

[Alessan]

My wife and I were born 25 hours apart. Needless to say, there isn't that much of a chance either of us will forget the other's birthday.

[Roderick Femm]

Today happens to be my birthday, and I very much suspect my SO has forgotten again. Meh. I'll find out when I get home.


Roddy

[Canadjun]

Mine is October 26. DON'T forget.

[Autolycus]

Sounds like somebody got a bit carried away. I mean, a stabbing or perhaps a bludgeoning I can see, but don't kill the guy!

Roddy

Me too. Happy Birthday!

[Two Many Cats]

Being an ex-Jehovah's Witness, people remembering my birthday just makes me feel awkward.

Haven't killed anybody for it though.....yet.

Right back atcha.

My SO did forget (boy, will I get him for that!) so yours is the only one I've had today.

[Rigamarole]

Don't do it Roddy!! It's not worth it!

[alice_in_wonderland]

There was a story a few years ago about an elderly woman who lit her husband of 60+ years on fire because he ate the ears off her chocolate easter rabbit.

Stabbing because of a missed birthday seems mild in comparison...

Now that's just hareible.

[Lynn Bodoni]

My husband was planning on taking a road trip over the weekend of my birthday. Now, generally I don't want a huge fuss, but I DO want someone around, I don't want to spend it totally alone. The trip could have been taken at any time, but noooooo, he thought that that particular weekend was THE perfect time.

I showed him this thread. We'll see what happens in a month or so.

All together now... Ooooooh!

I posit the following scenario: The man was a brilliant scientist who had been forced by the government to do advanced weapons research. His wife was a government agent keeping him in line, though he didn't know this. Some time before this he had expressed desires to go to another country and get out of the dirty business; his wife was ordered to terminate him, and this cover story is the result.

Either that or, Jesus, and we wonder why the birthrate in Russia is in decline.

Not on stories like this. Its the rag that all the Middle England housewives read.

White people is crazy.

[Alka Seltzer]

Well, at least the greeting card industry has a new poster girl.

[Toucanna]

I was going to respond to the OP with, "Psssst, buddy! It's in the Daily Mail, so it probably didn't happen." Then I saw AK84's post and decided to do a little digging.

This is the "Google Translate" version of the article (I have made a few corrections for clarity's sake):

In Astrakhan, a woman who killed her husband who did not give her flowers for her birthday will be judged.

Lala Tupikova faces up to 20 years in prison

Family drama played out in the Volga settlement of Funtova Privolzhskogo in the Astrakhan region. On May 6, 45-year-old Lala Tupikova celebrated her birthday. However, 50-year-old husband Lyali completely forgot about the date and came home not only without a gift, but even without flowers. The woman held her offense, but still covered the festive table and she sat down to supper with her ​​husband. But in the midst of a feast again overcame her resentment against greedy and forgetful husband. Grabbing a knife, she struck him several times in the shoulder, one of which was fatal.

- The investigation has gathered enough evidence, and the 45-year-old Lala Tupikova pleaded guilty. A criminal case under article "murder" to the court, which will soon sentence the woman - reported in "Komsomolskaya Pravda" in the press-service of SU TFR in the Astrakhan region.

A link to the original article in Russian: http://www.volgograd.kp.ru/online/news/955514/ and there's a link to the author/reporter.

Well, whaddya know? Apparently, it did happen. This means I can no longer practice the wholesale dismissal of anything published in the Daily Mail. Dang!

I met my SO online, we started talking just before Valentines day. Our first date was going to be on Valentine's day, but she said that was just cruel, too much pressure on a dude. So it was the day after, DAYTONA 500 day. Thankfully she had the shits and we only got in a lunch, I got to see the end of the race.

I'm not sure what happened the next weekend. I was "busy" and had to get somebody to feed and water my dogs.

Killing somebody, that's a wee bit crazy, she was going to kill him anyways and was looking for an excuse. You ignore a woman's birthday, they get pissed, you acknowledge it they get pissed because you're celebrating them getting old. You can't win, but getting killed over it kind of sucks.

29, they are always turning 29. No more than 29 candles ever, act surprised that they are 36!!!! even if they are just as old as you, they are always 29. Keeps you from getting killed.

I don't know why this is not a public service message?

It should be a commercial during every single football game, it would avoid much carnage, SHE IS 29!!!! Buy her something useless and shiny. That seems to make them happy, then they can bitch that you are broke and won't buy them a Porsche, for some reason that also seems to make them happy. I'm not sure if they are happy you're broke from dumping massive coin on them or they just like bitching.

You sound single.

Three days later and still nothing.

I am in the market for deliciously evil revenge scenarios. Nothing violent or permanently damaging, just sneaky and evil.

Paging Skald or anyone else with "the" in their user name.

[code_grey]

apropos of nothing, Ms. Tupikova's last name is closely etymologically related to the concept of "dead end" and also sounds a bit like "stupid/dumb". Anyway, it's kinda funny, as far as names go.

[Happy Lendervedder]

Hey doc, what's a Freudian slip?

It's when you say one thing but you mean another.

Oh, that happened to me once. I meant to say, "Honey you forgot my birthday," but it came out "I hate your stinking guts and I hope you slowly drown in your own fucking blood as I slice through your lungs with this butcher knife."

[Hawkins]

According to my wife, some husbands just need killing.

Generally, I don't like to disagree with her, but in this case I also didn't disagree with her.

[singular1]

Once Mr. singular forgot my birthday. I was a bit disappointed, but I didn't make a big deal about it. The next day - or the day after, I don't remember which- he remembered, and got really pissed at me for not reminding him. I'm kinda torn about this - am I supposed to tell someone I live with "Hey-tomorrow's the day you're supposed to remember!" every year? If he forgets I feel a leetle crappy, but no big deal. But it sucks to have to say "hey, don't forget to remember this!" every year. By the way, he never forgot again, but I wouldn't freak out this time, just like I didn't freak out then.

[Sue Duhnym]

My husband forgot my 40th birthday. I wouldn't have killed him over it but don't mistake how shitty something like that can make you feel. It eats away at your soul a bit.

I'd just as soon forget about my birthday.

LOL, yes. Which is why I explicitly said I didn't want it to be a big deal. Still, a sitter and dinner would have been nice. A card would have been nice. ANYTHING would have been nicer than nothing at all.

Man, I sound pathetic. I should add that he wasn't always this way and it was highly atypical. For my 38th birthday, his mom was here for a visit and, knowing he had a built-in sitter, flew himself in from Shanghai for a mere 36 hours to take me to dinner. Literally, a travel time of 28 hours for a 36 hour stay. Complete surprise, limo, champagne, my favorite restaurant, etc. That is some romantic stuff, right there.

There's a great guy hidden under the douche.

In his defense, he only forgot your birthday because it's like you have never aged a day, and his brain could not possibly conceive of the fact that you might be turning 40; it was simply not possible!

What would it cost to put you on retainer? Not that I would ever forget something important and need your services. I'm just curious...

I really doubt that a woman like you would ever need my services, given your obvious sensitivity and kind-hearted nature.

$25 a pop is the usual fee
