7yr Old Dies Protecting His Sister
February 18th 2009 08:09
This is absolutely horrific, I cried while reading this at the atrocities that we, as a human race, can sometimes do. I hope this man gets raped by horses, then tarred, then hung drawn and quartered.
RIP Zhenya - you are a true hero and an inspiration to the world.
A seven-year-old boy who died defending his older sister from a potential rapist has been honoured posthumously. Zhenya Tabakov's mother received the order of courage medal on behalf of her son.
Just over two months ago Galina lost her son and she's still struggling to get over the shock.
Zhenya was brutally murdered by a robber, as the boy was trying to save his 12-year-old sister from being raped.
It all happened in late November, in the small military town of Noginsk-9 - a place where even small crimes are rare.
Around midday, a man rang the bell of the flat where Zhenya and his family lived.
“I asked who it was. The man said he was the postman, and he needed to give us a telegram and get a signature. So I opened the door,” recalls Zhenya’s sister Yana.
The little girl says the man held a knife to her throat, and demanded that her brother bring him all the money he could find. Zhenya did as he was told. But when the man started undressing his sister it was more than the boy could bear.
Zhenya seized a knife from the kitchen and plunged it into the man's back. This didn't kill the attacker, but it was enough to set Zhenya's sister free. She ran for help. But it was too late for her brother - he was stabbed eight times.
Thirty-five-year old Sergey Kiyashko is in custody accused of the murder. Police say they have all the evidence they need to convict him.
The entire population of the little town seemed to show up for the farewell ceremony. The heroic death of seven-year-old Zhenya was something that the federal prosecutor's office could not pass by either. The chief inspector Aleksandr Bystrykin paid tribute to the boy's courage.
“At the prosecutor’s office, we witness many atrocities on a daily basis. But this case has sent many of us into shock. And it's played a part in the drafting of a new law on tougher punishment for those who commit crimes against children,” Bystrykin said.
Receiving the order for her son, Galina was unable to speak.
Nothing can bring Zhenya back to life again, but the little boy's heroism has become the pride of the town - and of his school in particular.
The boy’s photo now occupies the desk where he used to sit. Later on a special plaque will be fixed onto it. And only the best pupils will have the chance and honour of taking that place.

Talking about horrific modes of death, my man once explained to me about a certain culture (cant remember which one) that deemed if a noble was to be put to death, they were to be rolled in a carpet (like, actually sewn into the carpet so you cant fall out) and thrown in with the stallions. He just had to ask me, what would that death be like?
I can tell you, it might take days to die. I've seen my boys go mental over old feedbags that blow into the yard, and how they attack intruders. I can imagine the glee a whole pack of stallions would have, picking up the carpet and throwing it, kicking it, rolling it....I cant imagine anything more terrifying. So, lets get a rug and some stallions for this guy, eh?

Sadly the biggest blight on humanity is the human race. Every day we hear of the cruelty perpetuated on humans by humans.
My heart feels ripped open for his family. Especially the sister who will no doubt always, wrongly, blame herself.
I agree with Kleo's idea of punishment. It seems fitting.

Cheryl -
Anonymous - I hope you like the blog but for some reason I think maybe you is a machine - you left the exact message on my other blog letter for letter. If not then massive apologies and welcome but if so spamming in blogs sux!

You are the first person EVER to ask about my name! Thankyou, and I will be delighted to tell you.
I pride myself on the creation of unusual and beautiful names - we have cats named Xiara and Ynatra. 'Kleonaptra' is indeed a tribute to Cleopatra, a figure I adore. While writing my book and its history, I created family trees for all the royal families. 'Kleonaptra' is not a character that actually appears in the story, but she is a name on the family tree in the royal family of magicians. I started using it as a log in name (first ever place was SEEK) simply because its never been used. I was sick of every name being taken, so I went through my family tree pages and picked one. When creating my orble account, everything was taken, so I thought, 'haha, I know a name no one has!' And thus, I became Kleonaptra, a mythical figure of my own creation!

PS: Throw him to the stallions may just take a hold - will try it at work and judge how odd the looks I get are.

Anonymous is a spammer, I'm reporting it to Jon. He got me too. Now there is a maggot. How inappropriate to spam on a blog of a topic like this.
