Pensioner from Energodar is waiting for 9 years in prison for the murder of her daughter’s partner

A pensioner from Energodar will go to prison for nine years for the murder of his daughter's roommate.

The tragedy occurred in June 2026. A citizen born in 1958, drank alcohol at home with his daughter born in 1981, and her cohabitant born in 1992. The conversation turned into a conflict: the cohabitant hit the woman, and then repeatedly hit the pensioner who defended the daughter and threatened him with murder.

Trying to punish the offender, the pensioner took a kitchen knife from the table and struck him with a blade in the right side from the back. From the received wound, the man fell in the passage between the corridor and the kitchen. The woman took the knife from her father, threw it into the sink and called an ambulance. Doctors arrived to provide the victim with the necessary assistance, but the next day he died in hospital.

The actions of a pensioner are qualified under Part 1 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as intentional causing death to another person. The court took into account mitigating circumstances: active assistance to the investigation, old age, positive characteristics, admission of guilt and remorse, as well as the state of health of the perpetrator and his daughter. In addition, the court took into account the unlawful and aggressive behavior of the victim who first provoked the conflict.

As a result, the citizen was sentenced to nine years of imprisonment with serving in a correctional colony of strict regime.
