Russia: Woman uses bra to strangle neighbour

Moscow: A 26-year-old woman in Siberia faces 15 years in prison on charges she killed a 65-year-old neighbour - with her bra, police said on Tuesday.

The woman attacked the neighbour after he refused her request for money to buy liquor to continue a late July drinking binge.

Enraged by the rebuff, she tackled the older man and began choking him with her bare hands. He was able to slip away at first, but she took off her bra, looped it around his neck, and strangled him until he died, the report said.
