In Minsk, a 30-year-old local resident will appear in court for the torture of a cohabitant

The Prosecutor’s office of the Leninsky district of Minsk sent to court a criminal case against a 30-year-old local resident for the torture of a cohabitant. This was reported in the press service of the Prosecutor General’s office, writes sb.by.

This criminal case was initiated in August 2026 by the prosecutor's office of the Leninsky district of Minsk using the powers provided for by Part 5 of Article 26 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Belarus.

“The victim did not want to bring his partner to criminal responsibility, but taking into account the fact that his actions were expressed in encroachment on human life and health and affected the essential interests of the state and society, the district prosecutor’s office without the victim’s statement made this procedural decision,” the ministry said.

According to the materials of the case, the accused in a state of alcoholic intoxication from June to August 2026 systematically beat a 27-year-old woman.

In one case, while holding the victim on the couch, he inflicted at least six blows on her body. The accused was not stopped by the presence of others at the time of the unlawful acts. In particular, in June 2026, he beat the victim in front of her friend. The anger of the roommate caused the girls to want to walk down the street.

In July, a man on the basis of the conflict in a taxi began to strike the victim and drag her by the hair. In this case, the taxi driver did not remain silent and called the police. Despite the systematic aggressive and illegal behavior of the cohabitant, the woman refused to write a statement.

The criminal case was in the production of the Leninsky district department of the Investigative Committee. It is noted that the accused was previously convicted, including for committing serious and especially serious crimes.

After studying the materials of the criminal case, the prosecutor’s office of the Leninsky district of Minsk came to the conclusion about the validity of the charge, a full and objective study of the circumstances of the crime. They agreed with the qualification of the crime under Part 1 of Article 154 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.

The prosecutor left the measure of restraint in the form of a personal guarantee previously chosen against the accused unchanged.
