In the Luni district, a drunken husband threatened his wife with a knife because of jealousy

A family quarrel in the Luni district almost ended in tragedy. The police asked a 55-year-old local resident, who said that her husband in a state of alcoholic intoxication threatened her with a cold weapon.

The police quickly arrived at the scene and detained the 61-year-old suspect. The man did not deny his guilt and described what happened. He said he was drinking alcohol that night. During communication with his wife, a quarrel broke out due to jealousy. In a fit of anger, the Penza man grabbed a knife and, shouting death threats, swung at the woman.

The frightened wife managed to run out of the house and immediately called the police. Now against the man opened a criminal case under part 1 of article 119 of the criminal code. He faces up to two years in prison for threatening to kill.
