An idiotic man did a most foolish act by killing his entire six children including his pregnant wife and 73-year-old mother in a fit of rage.
Oleg Belov
A father has shocked many after he told a court how he murdered his pregnant wife, six children and his mother following an argument about his son's haircut.
The man identified as Oleg Belov admitted to murdering his entire family during a ten-minute rage that began because his six-year-old had got what he termed a ‘parrot’ haircut.

He told the court in Russia that his wife Yulia, 32, wanted to divorce him and then cut his son’s hair in a way he didn’t like.
‘She cut him like a parrot,’ Belov said. 'I asked her, “Are you kidding or what? I tried to grab the hair clipper and a fight broke out.’

He described how he killed his wife by hitting her twice before she ran for help. He followed her and killed her with an axe before turning on the children. ‘I killed the children so they would stay mine,’ he said.
Still not satisfied, he went to his 73-year-old mother’s house and stabbed her 21 times.
The murder was discovered after the man's children failed to turn up to school forcing Russian police to act. They discovered the dismembered bodies of the children aged between one and seven. Belov faces life in prison. The trial continues.
