According to the press release of the Chief Prosecutor’s Office of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, the man who, in a fit of anger, threw a kitchen knife at his brother, who suffered life-threatening injuries as a result, may receive a suspended prison sentence.
According to the indictment, the man welcomed his brother, who regularly drank alcohol, into his family home in the town of Borsod, but in February 2023, the brother went to the pub several times during the day and got drunk. And when he arrived home in the afternoon, the perpetrator was cutting meat with a knife with a blade of more than 19 cm.

The upset offender said that his brother’s coat was very smelly, took it off with him, and when he shook it, cigarette butts and coins that his brother had stolen from him fell out. At this, the man collected the change, then told his brother to clean up the cigarette butts that had fallen on the floor, and continued to cut the meat.
However, his brother spoke back to the perpetrator while he was picking the buttocks, who became so angry that he stabbed him in the stomach with the knife, and although the drunken brother tried to avoid the path of the knife, the stab wound ended up hitting him on the left side of the chest.
The man called an ambulance for his brother, who was indirectly in a life-threatening condition as a result of the stabbing. According to the prosecution, based on the location of the injury and the size of the tool used, the defendant’s action was capable of directly causing a life-threatening injury. Finally, the prosecution made a motion for a suspended prison sentence for the defendant with no criminal record.
