Drunken man massacres nine dinner guests to prove he's a 'man'

A Russian 'madman' massacred nine dinner party guests in a drunken rage after they questioned if he had served in the army and was a 'real man'.
Suspect Sergey Yegorov, 45, allegedly left the dining table to fetch a Saiga semi-automatic shotgun before opening fire on five men and four women in Tver, west Russia.
Before shooting, he said: 'Now I'll show you how I can shoot!'
The only survivor at the party, 21-year-old Marina Volk who hid under a duvet while the gunman opened fire on his victims, has given a horrific account of the massacre as well as paying tribute to her dead boyfriend Vyacheslav 'Slava' Savelyev, 34.
Miss Volk said: 'There are bodies with half their face blown off. He (Yegorov) was just a madman.
'He walked in and shot everyone. I saw it, I heard and saw how he was dragging the bodies.
'I saw him finishing them, heard their last gasps for air. Then he was washing hands. I heard it all.'
She added: 'I managed to hide under the duvet. I was so lucky, although he entered my room twice. He did not know that I was there, he was just searching for anybody.'
Miss Volk called the police who detained Yegorov at the scene in the Russian city, around 180km northwest of Moscow.
Yegorov is a trained electrician who worked in Moscow in temporary jobs but came to the village of Redkino village at weekends where his mother lived.
He reportedly told police: 'I killed all of them because they said that I had never served in the air assault forces.
'I told them that I did serve but they were laughing at me.'
Among the dead was a woman in her 90s, who was a Second World War veteran, according to reports.
Yegorov allegedly demanded his final female victim should dig her own grave.
When she refused he shot her from point blank range and loaded her body into the boot of a car.
The only survivor posted an emotional message to her boyfriend Vyacheslav 'Slava' Savelyev, 34, who was gunned to death in the Tver bloodshed.
Miss Volk wrote on social media: 'Eternal memory to you, my sweetheart.
'I still can't believe that you are not here anymore, that all of you have perished.
'Why oh why did our darlings leave us so early? Why, how can someone else decide he can take other person's life... This is so wrong...
'I loved you so much. You so much wanted to become father, you wanted to LIVE.
'I love you and I hope that one day we will meet again.'
Svetlana Petrenko, spokeswoman for the Russian Investigative Committee - similar to the FBI - said: 'All personal information about the suspect is being studied.
'At the moment we know that the murder took place after a conflict in the house where 10 people were present.
'One young girl, aged 21, managed to hide from the suspect and called the police.
'The suspect is being interrogated. The survived girl needed psychological help and this was provided to her.'
A statement from the committee added: 'One of the participants in the conflict brought a gun from his house and shot dead those who insulted him and the eyewitnesses.'
Vadim Levshin, regional spokesperson for the Russian Interior Ministry, disclosed that Yegorov had never served in the army.
He said: 'He is a nobody, neither serving as a border guard, nor an airborne soldier, I can tell you that, 300 per cent sure.'
Suspect Yegorov was shown on his knees and handcuffed behind his back in a police vehicle guarded by armed officers.
Levshin said: 'The suspect did not work as electrician. He lived in Moscow where he earned money by doing temporary jobs.
'He came to Tver to have weekend break. The crime was caused by a drunken conflict.'
Most men of Yegorov's age served as teenage conscripts in the Soviet army or later in Russian forces.
He allegedly gunned down his hosts and fellow guests at the dacha - country house - using a registered weapon.
The house at Redkino village belonged to Ivan Zagornyan who was killed in the shooting, according to reports.
Neighbour Slava Savelyev was there, and he was shot dead too, as was his 92-year-old grandmother.
Polina Smirnova, whose parents Pavel, 45, and Vera, 48, were killed, said: 'I am 22 years old, and I have no other close family members.
'I was told about what happened but I still don't know the details. My Mum and Dad, they were so young, they were not even pensioners.'
Other victims were Ivan Zagornyan, 49, Lyudmila Vysotskaya, 62, Alexander Redin, 50, Oleg Demchenko, and Svetlana Sorokina.
The final victim to be found was a woman whose body was in the boot of a parked car in the house.
A team of investigators has been sent from Moscow to probe the case.
