A resident of Nikolsk put tweezers to the neck of a partner and threatened with murder

The Inquiry Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “Nikolsky” completed the investigation of the criminal case initiated against a 32-year-old local resident under part 1 of Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

During the investigation, the police found out that the accused, being at home alone and waiting for his partner, drank alcohol. When the woman arrived, they continued drinking together. After a while, she tried to put the man to sleep because he was drunk. The accused took this as the reluctance of a cohabitant to spend the night with him and a verbal conflict arose between them. Hearing the threat to leave if he didn't stop drinking, the attacker became even more angry. Getting out of bed, he grabbed metal sharp tweezers from the table, approached the woman, held the tool to her neck and threatened murder. A few minutes later, the man was distracted by a phone call, and the victim was able to run out of the house and seek help.

The offence is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment.
