Man in Ukraine invents murder for snowy street | NOW

A man in Ukraine called the police on Saturday night and made up that he had committed a murder in the hope that the officers would come with a snowplow to arrest him. He was dissatisfied with the state of his street, writes the English newspaper The Guardian.

Due to the heavy snowfall in Ukraine in recent days, the man’s street was covered with a layer of snow. Earlier in the day he had tried to sweep the street clean, but he was unhappy with the result.

So he decided to try a different way. The Ukrainian called the police on Saturday evening and confessed to having committed murder, writes The Guardian. He said he stabbed his mother’s partner in the chest.

“But at the same time, he warned the police that they had to come with a snow plow because there was no other way to reach him,” a police spokesman said. The Guardian.

After the officers arrived (in an SUV and not a snow plow) they discovered that nothing of the story was correct. The alleged victim was perfectly healthy. The ‘murderer’ immediately confessed that the story was made up. He can be fined 3.50 euros for making a false report.
