Lentorama 2006 Saint of the Day: St. Tetricus
A Benedictine abbot, he was made bishop of Auxerre by popular acclaim (so he was voted bishop?), and served well "until his murder by his crazed archdeacon." Method of killing was angular blocks dropped from a height; no word if the archdeacon was Russian.
Sadly I can't find any actual information on the death of St. Tetricus. If you're going to use a phrase like "crazed archdeacon," the least you can do is give some detail.
