In the Khmelnytskyi region, a man was sentenced to 17 years in prison for killing the 22-year-old son of his former roommate.

This was reported in the regional prosecutor's office of Khmelnytskyi region.

"The convict came to the yard of his former roommate in the middle of the night to allegedly take revenge for her betrayal. As a result, a quarrel broke out between them, during which the intruder severely beat the 44-year-old woman and stabbed her in the chest with a hunting knife. He ran out of the house screaming the son of the wounded woman and rushed to protect his mother. The man inflicted non-life-threatening stab wounds on the 22-year-old boy, from which he died at the scene, and the scoundrel ran away in his own car," the prosecutor's office said in detail about the tragedy.

In addition to the fact that the man will go behind bars for 17 years, he will also pay the victim half a million hryvnias in moral damages.  

We will remind, in the Donetsk region, a man met an acquaintance on the street, who had recently been clinging to his wife in a public place, and stabbed him to death.
