On June 1 last year, in the afternoon hours at their home in Szigethalm, they had another fight over the fact that the man did not give his wife more drinks, and even hid the drinks away from her in the house. In the heat of the argument, the woman threatened to kill the man and slapped him.
Later in the evening, after the man went to sleep in the bedroom, the woman took a knife with a blade length of 20 centimeters in the kitchen. With the knife in hand, he went into the bedroom and stabbed the sleeping man in the chest.
The man woke up to the stabbing, ran out of the house and asked for help from the neighbor, who notified the ambulance and the police.
