The couple are being accused of false imprisonment and are said to have fled. In order to stop the old man from wandering into the street, they had kept him chained up from 28 July to 1 August, investigators said. The victim, who lived in the village of Gluboky, can barely see or hear, and is in very poor health.
In an interview given from his hospital bed, he said he had been beaten and doused with cold water to stop him calling out. As a result, he contracted pneumonia. The emaciated old man, named only as Mikhail B, said he had longed to die as a result of the alleged abuse: "They beat me with a bottle of water, which is why I have a haematoma on my head.
"They took away my pension. When I wanted to eat, they threw ice-cold water on me. Then they chained me and stopped feeding me altogether." Doctors said they hoped to place the victim in a rehabilitation centre in a nearby village. No comment was reported from his 40-year-old daughter and 48-year-old son-in-law, who are said to have gone into hiding, fearing the anger of their fellow villagers.

to be fair he is old
To be fair, the people who did this need to be lashed to a tree for a few weeks. Preferably in Siberia.
In February.
@The ToiletDuck:
What the fuck is wrong with you??...So its ok for you that when you are old you get chained at the corner of the street??...
I assume ToiletDuck is being facetious.
This poor old man. I hope he makes a swift recovery and is able to live out his remaining years in peace & comfort.
I really don't want to get old and helpless!
Barbwire, heroin's the solution.
"They beat me with a bottle of water, which is why I have a haematoma on my head." Very well educated old man, isn't he. Poor old guy, dreadful story.
