Not «family matters», but the observance of public order. Domestic tyrant will be punished in Sevastopol

CrimeaPRESS reports:

In Sevastopol, district police officers detained a local resident who threatened to kill his wife. As specified in the press service of the Sevastopol police, the domestic tyrant almost passed from words to deeds — against the background of alcohol intoxication and personal hostility to his wife, he picked up a knife.

A 63-year-old local resident called the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Leninsky District and said that her husband was threatening to kill her. Police officers immediately arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect. Police officers found that a 69-year-old local resident, once again returning home intoxicated, listened to moralizing from his wife about his immoral lifestyle. Angry, he grabbed a kitchen knife from the table and, pressing the woman to the bed, threatened to kill her. Seriously fearing for her life, a local resident managed to escape and run out into the street, where she called the police.— reports the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.

A criminal case was initiated against the detainee under Part 1 of Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Threat to kill or cause grievous bodily harm”), he faces a sentence of imprisonment for up to two years.
