Baku-APA. A woman in northwestern Russia was killed by a missile model constructed and launched by her husband, the regional investigation department said on Friday, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.

In early August, a 42-year-old aviation company employee keen on model aviation launched a self-made missile model at a field near the Borisovo village in the Vologda Region. His wife was watching the launch from a distance.

"During the launch, the model rocket veered off course and hit his wife in the head. The woman died in the hospital," investigators said in a statement.

The man could face up to two years in prison for manslaughter.
