Trouble! Police arrest factory worker for killing colleagues in jealous rage

The man brandished a knife at the factory on Wednesday in the city of Nizhny Novgorod and fatally stabbed a female acquaintance “because of jealousy,’’ the country’s top investigative agency said in a statement.

The suspect also stabbed two male co-workers to death and wounded two other men, who have been hospitalised, the statement said.

The attack occurred at a factory of the Russian automobile manufacturer GAZ Group, state news agency TASS reported.

The suspect, who has been taken into custody, could face two decades in prison on a charge of murdering multiple people if convicted, the Investigative Committee said Punch
