RUSSIA – A teen slit his teachers throat then posted selfies online with the teacher’s body before killing himself with a circular saw.
According to police, 18-year-old Andrey Emelyannikov waited for a break between classes at Western Complex of Continuous Education before sneaking up behind 44-year-old Sergei Danilov and stabbing the health and safety teacher in the neck.
The teen then posted selfies online showing him smirking with a toothpick in his mouth with the dead teacher lying in a pool of blood behind him. Afterwards, the teen killed himself using a circular saw.
There’s been no real motive behind the teen’s actions, aside from some reports blaming his love of video games as the cause — which is total bullshit. Investigators are now trying to link the murder-suicide to a variant of the “Blue Whale” game, which is reportedly responsible for 130 Russian suicides.
People who knew Emelyannikov online say the teen recently had an altercation with teacher and that the teacher was trying to get Emelyannikov expelled from the school. Since then, the teen had made posts online stating he going to kill the teacher.
As is normally the case with online threats and boasts, they were not taken seriously. A member of one of the forums Emelyannikov frequented says that for some time, the teen had been using a hashtag of “11117” – the date of the murder – at the bottom of all of his posts.
