A resident of Tikhvin stabbed a drinking partner because of personal differences and went to prison

A resident of the Leningrad region was sentenced by the Tikhvin city court to 2 years in prison for intentional infliction of grievous harm to health. This was reported in the joint press service of the courts of the Leningrad region.

On July 13, the Tikhvin City Court sentenced the man, finding him guilty of intentional infliction of grave bodily harm posing a danger to human life. The crime was committed using an object as a weapon, which falls under paragraph "h" of part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

On the night of January 30, the convict was in a residential building on the territory of SNT “North”. He lived there temporarily with the victim. There was another friend in the house that day, and all three were drinking alcohol. A dispute broke out between the victim and a friend, which soon turned into a conflict due to personal differences. As a result, the parties began to push. The man suddenly struck the victim at least one blow with a household knife in the chest area behind, which led to injury. Doctors qualified injuries as serious harm to health because of the danger to life.

Immediately after the incident, the convict did not provide any assistance to the injured man. The Leningrad citizen, admitting his guilt and qualification of the act, nevertheless appealed to the court of appeal with a request to mitigate the sentence. The Leningrad Regional Court, having studied the appeal, found no reason to reconsider the sentence.

Earlier, “MK in Leningrad region” reported that the Bauxitogorsk prosecutors stood up to protect the victim at the welder.
