In Mykolaiv<\/strong>, a court sentenced a man to 8 years in prison<\/strong> who, while drinking alcohol together, inflicted stab wounds on two of his acquaintances. The Mykolaiv Oblast Police Communications Department reported<\/a> the verdict on 16 July 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in February 2025<\/strong> in the apartment of one of the multi-storey buildings in Mykolaiv<\/strong>. Three acquaintances were drinking alcoholic beverages together when a verbal argument broke out between them.<\/p>\n

During the conflict, one of the men grabbed a knife and struck his two opponents. A woman witnessed the incident and called the emergency line 102<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Police established that the attacker had previously been repeatedly held criminally liable. After the crime, he was detained in the course of criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n

Investigators informed the man of suspicion of the intentional infliction of grievous bodily injury. Having collected the necessary evidence, law enforcement completed the pre-trial investigation and handed the materials of the criminal case to the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors referred the indictment to the court for consideration on the merits.<\/p>\n

The court found the man guilty under part 1<\/strong> of Article 121<\/strong> of the Criminal Code of Ukraine \u2014 intentional grievous bodily injury.<\/p>\n

The defendant was sentenced to 8 years in prison<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the first-instance court’s verdict has not yet come into legal force. It will take effect after the deadline for filing an appeal has expired, if no appeal is filed.<\/p>\n

If the decision is appealed, the verdict will enter into legal force after the appellate court’s decision, unless it is overturned.<\/p>\n
