Mother Slain with One-Legged Son's Crutch
A Queens man is being monitored at Bellevue Hospital after confessing to murdering his 80-year-old mother with a crutch. Police found the crutch along with a bloody knife after receiving a call from Sergeui Mamontov, who uses the crutch because he only has one leg. Mamontov, who has a history of mental illness also tried to castrate himself, telling police he was "trying to remove the evil." Lyudmila Mamontova lived in the same Far Rockaway building as Mamontov, who a neighbor describes as "a caring son." When police arrived, he told them, "I just killed my mother and I don't know why." Neighbors say that his condition had worsened recently and that he had begun "talking Bible talk." Momontov lost his leg in a freak accident after being struck by a car and had a home attendant until three months ago when his workman's comp ran out.

Little Children, anyone?

Looks like another mentally ill person will finally receive treatment...because he's going to jail. The whole thing is just heartbreaking.

Crutch and knife?
What's wrong with pillow-over-face?

All he's really guilty of is a slightly less cosmopolitan version of moving 3,000 miles away from your parents, turning your cell phone off on weekends when they call, and deciding to never have kids.
Just put a, um, twist on it.
