A man who almost died after his girlfriend
stabbed him 13 times has proposed to her in
court – and begged a judge not to jail her. The
unnamed woman, who is on trial in Nizhnekamsk,
Russia, is facing up to six years behind bars for
the frenzied attack.
The victim, named only as Mr Shakur, escaped
with his life when he managed to flee from his
partner, prosecutor Airat Bikmurzin told the court.
Mr Bikmurzin said: “The accused woman failed to
fulfil her criminal intention due to circumstances
she could hardly influence.
“The victim managed to escape from the crime
scene and found medical help in time. “Using the
knife as a weapon, she stabbed the victim at
least 13 times.â€
The man was hospitalised for three weeks with
stab wounds all over his body, the prosecutor
added.
He demanded a custodial sentence of up to six
years for intentionally causing damage to the
health of the man and threatening his life.
The woman pleaded guilty to the stabbing
incident but denied she had intended to “kill†her
boyfriend and said she was “drunk†at the time.
It was not clear what the dispute was about. As
she stood and faced the judge, her victim
proposed to her in court, according to a report
from NTR-24 TV.
He appealed to the judge for leniency and said
they intended to arrange the date of their
wedding.
The Russian judge postponed a decision on
sentencing until a future hearing, according to
reports.
