The suspect has been formally charged and a preventive measure has been imposed. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
This tragic event occurred a few nights ago in a village within the Serhiyivka community. Preliminary reports indicate that a 41-year-old man visited a 57-year-old local resident. While consuming alcoholic beverages together, an argument erupted regarding child-rearing. In the heat of the dispute, the host stabbed his guest in the chest with a kitchen knife. Realizing the gravity of his actions, he later called emergency services.
The police registered the incident in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and began an inquiry into the murder. The deceased's body was sent for forensic examination to determine the exact cause of death. Preliminary findings suggest he died from blood loss due to a stab wound.
During the crime scene investigation, several pieces of evidence were collected, including the knife, which was also sent for examination.
The suspect was detained in accordance with legal procedures. Complaining about alcohol, he confessed to the crime.
With sufficient evidence gathered, investigators informed the detained individual of the charges of intentional murder. The court granted the police's request and decided to remand the suspect in custody. According to Part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, he faces up to 15 years of imprisonment.
The investigation is ongoing. The process is overseen by the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi District Prosecutor's Office.
