According to investigators, the woman was stabbed nine times by her own husband after he threatened to beat their son. She would try to intervene, which angered her husband.

The victim was delivered by the attacker himself to the UPA at about 11:00 p.m. He left the woman at the scene and fled on foot. The medical team called the military police.

The wife was stabbed in the head, arms and back

Civilian police reported that the blows struck the victim’s wrist – one blow opened and pierced the arm – the back, head and other parts of the body. The victim was discharged after receiving medical care.

Everything happened in the presence of the couple’s younger children. “Even though the author’s family members tried to stop him from continuing, he continued to attack the victim and even stabbed his ex-wife in the back as she fled the scene,” civilian police said.

The arrest of a suspect is preventive in nature, meaning there is no time limit for its completion. During interrogation after his arrest, he said that he lost consciousness at the time of the incident. He was sent to prison.
