A 33-year-old man, Stepan Dolgikh, has been detained for battering his wife, 36, to death on their wedding day in the Siberian village of Prokudskoye, Russia.

Eyewitnesses said the beating began when the groom became jealous of another guest at their wedding party in a private house,  Dailymail reports.

He accused his new wife of ‘behaving incorrectly’.

Chief investigator Kirill Petrushin said, “He began to punch and kick her outside the house.

“He beat her for a long time, in front of witnesses, and struck her vital organs – in the torso and head,

“He fully admitted guilt during the investigation.

“As for repentance…. I cannot comment. I personally do not believe he repented.”

He added, “In a state of alcoholic intoxication, due to jealousy, he developed a hostile attitude towards his wife.

“He was jealous of one of the guests. It seemed to her husband that she behaved incorrectly, which caused a scandal.”

“She knew about his criminal record.

‘They met while he was serving a sentence in prison for previous crimes,”,’ said Petrushin.
