The dispute between the military ended in tragedy: what the court decided

In the Chemerovets district court of Khmelnytsky region, a sentence of a border guard from Cherkasy region was issued, who in a state of alcohol intoxication was fatally injured by a knife of another serviceman. This is stated in the sentence in case No. 687/1370/24.

At the end of September 2024, a quarrel appeared between one of the temporary location of the border unit in the Khmelnytsky region. According to the investigation, both were intoxicated. During the conflict, a senior soldier from Cherkasy region hit his brother with a knife into the stomach. The victim died on the spot.

Both men were detained immediately. Crime - knife - seized law enforcement. Subsequently, the suspect was charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - Part 2 of Art. 121 (Severe bodily injuries that caused death) and Part 3 of Art. 406 (violation of the statutory rules of relations between servicemen, committed in the conditions of martial law).
