A man in southwest Russia's Samara Region has been jailed for seven years for murdering a woman who snored too loudly, national media said on Tuesday.

Viktor Rudakov, 46, had been drinking with friends at the woman's house on August 13 and was invited to stay the night. But he was unable to get to sleep due to her loud snoring. After failing to wake her up, he took a plank of wood and beat her around the head and body some 30 times.

The woman died the next day of her injuries.

Rudakov, who will serve his time in a maximum security jail, confessed to the murder.
