In Kharkiv, a repeat offender was sentenced for stabbing his sister.

A man has been sentenced in Kharkiv for stabbing his sister.

This was reported to "Dumka" based on the verdict from the Moscow District Court of Kharkiv.

According to the case details, an unemployed resident of Kharkiv, who had previously been convicted at least four times for various offenses, got into a dispute with his sister.

The verbal altercation quickly escalated into a stabbing incident, as the man lost control of his emotions and ran to the kitchen to grab a knife.

With the blade in hand, the assailant began to lunge at his sister, who tried to protect herself with her hands, which ultimately were injured.

Seeing blood on his relative's fingers, the man became frightened by the consequences of his unlawful actions and regained his composure.

The Moscow court found the man guilty of committing a criminal offense (misdemeanor) under part 2 of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and sentenced him to 150 hours of community service.
