Russia's first top golfer has been arrested for allegedly murdering and beheading his mother with a kitchen knife after a row with his wife.

Artem Nesterov decapitated his mother sixty–year–old mother Lyudmila, and then fled by car, crashing three times into fences, according to reports in the Daily Mirror.

He then called his wife, his sister Lydia, and then the police to report the killing.

According to police, the 37–year–old golfer was detained the day after he allegedly murdered his mother.

The body with a severed head nearby was found by police in a detached house in Yerino village, near Moscow.

The frenzied attack came after the golfer had a row with his wife, who complained to him about the amount of time he spent at work.

In 2003, Nesterov was the first Russian golfer to be awarded the title of master of sports.

He was also a Russian champion in a sport that was only introduced to the country after the fall of communist rule in 1991, and was a coach for ten years.
