A Russian who killed his father in December 2011 after a row about China’s geographical position, has been sentenced to 13 years in jail, the prosecutor’s office in Far Eastern Amur region said on its website on Thursday.
According to prosecutors, the 41-year-old man, who was released from prison in October 2011, started an argument with his father about China’s geographical position as they were drinking alcohol together in Far Eastern city of Blagoveshchensk.
After unsuccessful attempts to convince his father on which shore of the Amur River China is located, the man beat his father, suffocated him with a towel and then drowned him in a bath, the prosecutors said in a statement.
The man will serve a 13-year jail term in a high-security prison, the prosecutor’s office said.
