A Russian businessman who owns large meat-processing plants was murdered with a crossbow at his country home. CNN reports Vladimir Marugov, known as dubbed the 'Sausage King,' was in a sauna with his wife when the attack happened. Marugov's ex-wife, Tatyana Marugova, confirmed his death. Authorities say several masked men entered the bathhouse, tied the couple up, and then demanded money. Marugov's wife escaped through a window and called the police, who found her husband dead at the scene--along with the crossbow used to shoot him.
