An armed 23 year old policeman in Moscow fell victim of his own carelessness. He decided to scratch an itchy spot on his nose with a gun and accidentally killed himself, the Moskovsky Komsomolets reports.
The tragedy happened in the court security facility. At 6pm the officer’s supervisor tried to connect with him over the phone to check on him. The sergeant did not answer his phone and the supervisor had to go see him with other officers.
The police found a locked door they had to break and the body of their colleague behind the door. The policeman’s body with a wound in the head was found under the desk.
The investigation ruled out a murder. There was no note that would indicate suicide.
The victim had been serving in police since 2007. He was single and was not registered with the staff psychologist. He was reported to be in good spirits on the day of the accident.
The sergeant allegedly scratched his nose with his gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.

Allegedly scratched his nose with his gun??? WTH does that mean? They don't seem to really know what happened... I wouldn't be so sure that it wasn't suicide... Strange story though.

I agree.

Do they have life insurance in Russia? If so, they may have been covering for him so the recipient of his policy doesn't get...erm...stiffed :^P

Thats actually a very good point, being as there doesn't convincingly seem to be any witnesses who actually SAW him scratching his nose.

Was the guy in the other thread scratching his nuts with his gun?

So Russian Police always have one up and ready to go and the safety catch off? Gaad things are slack in Russia.
