The public prosecutor charged the man with stabbing his fiancé’s stomach and neck with a carpet knife on October 26, 2021, around 3 a.m. in the bedroom of their shared apartment in the city center, thereby inflicting life-threatening injuries on her. The woman’s windpipe was severed, which is why she inhaled blood. As a result, she was in shortness of breath and in danger of death.
Right at the beginning of the main hearing, the defendant, who was arrested on the day of the crime, submitted a confession through his defense counsel, but denied having acted with intent to kill. He stated that he deeply regrets the act. At the time, he was in an exceptional situation because his partner had told him that night that he was not the father of the two children.
The victim contradicts the perpetrator’s description
The woman who was questioned as a witness opposed this. She stated that the accused was indeed the father of both children and that she had not claimed anything to the contrary that night. The question of paternity was not at all an issue at the time. At the time, she merely refused to sleep with the accused a second time after they had previously “made love” by mutual agreement. However, the accused continued to press her and an argument broke out between the two. He then got the knife and said he would kill her now and then kill himself. You could not explain his behavior on the night of the crime.
The accused had declared that he had left the woman after his daughter wanted to enter the bedroom. He did not want the child to see the bloodied mother and left the bedroom, where he left the woman.
Neighbor called for help
He then went back again and noticed how his partner called a neighbor on her cell phone. He let them in on their ringing. He cannot say what he would have done if his partner had not called the neighbor. When asked again, he stated that he would have gotten help himself. The main hearing will continue on Thursday.
