In Voronezh sentenced for killing a neighbor in a state of affect

The Kominternovsky district court of Voronezh considered a criminal case of murder committed in a state of affect. As the investigation established, in May 2025, the man stabbed his neighbor in the hostel, from which he died. The actions of the accused were reclassified from murder to murder in a state of affect, since, according to the court, the crime was committed against the background of a long psychotraumatic situation.

The court found the defendant guilty and imposed a punishment of two years of restriction of liberty. He was released from serving his sentence due to the absorption of the period of detention. The sentence has not yet entered into force.
