A wild and senseless murder occurred on Tuesday in Volyn. A 56-year-old man killed a young boy with whom he had argued over the price of mushrooms. \nViktor Paramuk (name changed) in the morning gathered a full bucket of white mushrooms and went to sell the forest gifts on the Lyuboml-Shatsk highway. A resident of Lyuboml, 23-year-old Serhiy O., was engaged in the same trade. Their paths crossed in the "Sosnyachok" tract near the village of Vlasyuky. There is a small recreation base here, which villagers have long chosen as a trading spot. \nThese two were not alone in the tract. After heavy rains, the local forests are rich in mushrooms, so the Polissya people take advantage of the moment to earn an extra hryvnia. \nEvidently that "extra" hryvnia became the cause of the young boy's death. After lunch, Viktor and Serhiy began to argue because the older man, in Serhiy's opinion, was selling mushrooms a few hryvnias cheaper. Eventually passions flared so much that Viktor pulled out a kitchen knife (with which he had been gathering mushrooms in the morning) and struck Serhiy in the stomach. \nDeputy Lyuboml inter-district prosecutor Oleh Lisovetskyi informed us that both men were sober. The ambulance and police were called by neighbors in the "mushroom business." But Serhiy died on the spot. \n
