A teenage girl has killed her best friend by stabbing her over 100 times with a pair of tweezers in a row over looks.
Pretty Kristina Danilova, 18, murdered childhood pal Olga Samoilenko in a fit of rage after being told her she was ugly and would never get a boyfriend.
She pulled her eyebrow tweezers out of her make up bag and attacked her friend, who bled to death. Danilova told detectives: 'Olga remarked that I was ugly and would never ever find a boyfriend.
'How could I stay calm on hearing something like that from someone who I had always considered my best friend?'
She continued: 'We were at a birthday party. It was late.We had been talking about guys, when Olga said she was in great demand with the lads.
'She said it was because she was blonde and advised me to dye mine the same colour.
'I replied that being blonde was an incurable condition, not something to aspire to. Word by word our friendship just unravelled.'
The pair went outside to talk things through when Danilova stabbed Olga repeatedly in a frenzied attack.
She claims she had no recollection of the attack.
She said: 'I didn't mean to kill her, it happened accidentally.' The killing has shocked the pairs schoolfriends in the town of Ulyanovsk, 600 miles east of Moscow.
One said: 'They used to sit at the same desk and shared every secret with each other. They even went to do the same course at the economic faculty of the local university so as not to part.
'They were always together. They were so close, that everybody envied their friendship.'
After stabbing Olga, Danilova fled the scene, leaving her former friend to bleed to death. Police believe she may have been saved if help had been called.
One detective said: 'It was a frenzied, mad attack. You would not imagine the damage a pair of tiny eyebrow tweezers caused the poor girl.'
Danilova is currently in pre-trial custody and faces ten years in jail.
