MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- A Russian man is accused of murdering a hairdresser over the price of a haircut.
Prosecutors said 33-year-old Vadim Tikhonov killed the woman who cut his hair in a Siberian barber shop when she tried to stop him from walking out without paying after complaining that 100 rubles ($4.10) was too much.
They said he grabbed a hammer and hit her on the head, then took out his knife and stabbed her 12 times.
The Omsk region prosecutor's office said Tikhonov was arrested a month after the October killing.
It said he told police he killed the woman because he did not want to pay for the haircut, and did not have the money.
One hundred rubles, worth less than three euros, is at the lower end of the price range for haircuts in Russia. E-mail to a friend
