X Factor contestant kills mother

On 10 February in Dniprodzershynsk, a contestant from one of the seasons of the vocal show X Factor brutally killed his mother. The man, born in 1984, was in an insane state when law enforcement officers arrived.

It took four police officers to get him out of the apartment and into the car. The man was unable to give a statement. As a result, a decision was made to hospitalise him in a closed psychiatric ward.

According to the man's sister, he had been in a depressive state following his father's death.

The killer's details are not disclosed in the interests of the investigation.
