A man was accused of murdering his flatmate while he was imagining himself as a character from the Hitman video games.

It has been suggested that Eugen Coman, on trial for allegedly stabbing his flatmate Leonid Laboshin to death, may have been driven by a 'bizarre fantasy' of being the titular assassin from video game series Hitman, or by 'good old fashioned sexual jealousy'. It is said that Coman became angered when he saw Leonid and Mariya Fando sharing a joke over their immigration paperwork, and began knifing the 31-year-old, inflicting 27 wounds. Prosecutors have also suggested that Coman may have been motivated by 'sexual jealousy'. After Mariya ran to a neighbour's house and police were called, Leonid's body was found wrapped up in a sheet in the garden. When Coman was tracked to his brother's home in Witney, he was discovered dressed in a black suit and tie with his head cleanly shaven - an outfit prosecutors described as 'rather unusual for killing'. Forensic searches of his devices uncovered a number of internet searches linked to Hitman's protagonist, who is bald-headed and carries out contract killings in a sleek suit. Coman admits to killing Leonid, but claims he was not in his right mind at the time.

The court heard that Eugen Coman, who is on trial for allegedly stabbing his flatmate Leonid Laboshin to death, may have been acting out a 'bizarre fantasy' of being the assassin from the video game series 'Hitman', or could have been driven by 'sexual jealousy'. It is claimed that Coman became enraged when he saw Leonid and Mariya Fando sharing a joke over their immigration paperwork, and proceeded to stab the 31-year-old 27 times. When Mariya fled to a neighbour's house, police were called and Leonid's body was found wrapped up in a sheet in the garden. Coman was located at his brother's home in Witney, wearing a black suit and tie with his head shaved, which prosecutors claimed was 'rather unusual for killing'. Searches of his devices revealed a number of online searches linked to 'Hitman's protagonist, and Coman admits to the killing but claims he was not in his right mind when it happened.
