A 51-year-old man was found guilty of premeditated murder (Part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) following a public indictment by the prosecutors of the Sambir District Prosecutor’s Office.
He was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Prosecutors proved in court that in January of this year, in one of the villages of the Sambir region, two colleagues drank alcoholic beverages in a dormitory after a work shift.
During the feast, a conflict arose between the men. In the course of which the person involved began to hit the head and body of a 26-year-old acquaintance with his fists.
After the victim fell to the floor, the convict grabbed the electric cable from the heater, wrapped it around the friend’s neck and strangled him.
