Election official murdered during polling day lunch-time domestic dispute

The chairwoman of a polling station in central Poland was murdered by her husband yesterday when she went home for lunch during the parliamentary elections. "The 50-year-old woman was bludgeoned to death by her inebriated husband when she took a break at the polling station in Tomaszow Mazowiecki and went home for lunch," police spokesman Jaroslaw Berger said, and went on, "It started with a family quarrel." The man, 53, was taken into custody after he phoned the police and confessed to the murder. (Reuters)
