A scientist accused of attempted murder in Antarctica stabbed his colleague because he was fed up with the man telling him the endings of books, it has been claimed.

Scientific engineer Sergey Savitsky, 55, became enraged and stabbed welder Oleg Beloguzov, 52, with a kitchen knife.

It is believed to be the first time a man has been charged with attempted murder in Antarctica.

The men had previously spent four harsh years at Russias isolated Bellingshausen station King George Island, part of the South Shetland island group.

Russian investigators are probing a version of events in which both men became avid readers to pass the lonely hours in the remote facility.

But Savitsky had become enraged that Beloguzov kept telling his colleague the endings of books before he read them.

The wounded man was evacuated to Chile with a knife injury to the chest.

His heart was injured in the attack and he was admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital but his life is understood not to be in danger.

The alleged attacker was deported to Russias second city St Petersburg where he was immediately arrested and a criminal probe launched.

I get it. No one likes that one guy who spoils the endings.

Those people are upsetting, TC.

I don't think the police would care, though.

How can he be arrested if the crime happened in Antarctica? Checkmate

Huh, that's actually something I never thought of. Committing a crime in Antarctica. There's no government, no laws. Nothing is illegal. How could another country convict you?

lol

They were living in a place where basically the only thing to do for fun is read books, so fuck that guy honestly

I mean, I get the rage, but not the violence.

Anything goes out there tbh

Probably a bit of cabin fever for being stuck out in the middle of an ice desert.

International laws? I don't know, I'm just guessing. Either that or they get tried by their home country.

I'm guessing this was following years of escalation about the issue, with the victim finding it an increasingly fun way to troll the attacker.

Not that anything is excused, but I gotta say it might drive anyone crazy after several years without a lot of alternative amusement options.

Of course the other possibility is the victim was completely oblivious that it bothered the attacker because the attacker tried to just deal with it and eventually failed. I've never stabbed anyone, but I've been guilty if snapping after so much time of trying to deal without ever mentioning it.

Either way I think it's clear that people who complain about unmarked spoiler moderations are ungrateful for the mods potentially saving their lives!

It's the second. Member countries of the Antarctic Treaty maintain jurisdiction of their nationals in Antarctica.

The man should be tried in a court under antarctic jurisdiction. Judge walrus will sentence him if he's found guilty.

There are no walrus in the antarctic

That's why he's impartial.

Bet that guy didn't see that ending coming.

I have said that if I were on a jury and it was a guy lightly assaulting somebody else for willfully and spitefully spoiling the end of something, I would not think the assaulter deserves prison.

Spoiling things intentionally is like the definition of a dick move and not something we should condone in society. Literally all you are doing is ruining somebody else's enjoyment.

I don't condone "attempted murder", but if I'm honest, I don't feel much if any sympathy for the victim.

You enjoyed being recreationally cruel to another person even after that person made it crystal clear that they hated it, you literally enjoyed their suffering, so now I'm supposed to feel bad for you when as a consequence of your torment they lose their shit at you?

Wilford Brimley tweeted about this and it made my day

I hope he used a one-liner.

Oh yeah? Let me tell you how THIS one ends!

Did you read the one where antarctic scientist stabbed another?

This reminds me of the story where two scientists got in an argument and one kind of stormed off into the tundra and never came back, was never found.

I guess it's easy to lose your mind in antarctica.

This is one of the few instances where I would support violent overreaction.
