A man in the Czech Republic has been sentenced to 18 years in prison under enhanced supervision for sticking a firecracker into his then-wife’s vagina and setting it on fire. The regional court in Pilsen found the Ukrainian guilty of attempted murder on Thursday, the CTK office reported.
The judge therefore considered it proven that the man had first tied his wife, from the Republic of Moldova, with adhesive tape in September 2023 and then attacked her. The victim was seriously injured when the fireworks exploded. The woman was bleeding profusely from wounds up to four centimeters deep. Emergency surgery by specialists from the University Hospital in Pilsen saved her life.
The suspect spoke of an accident during erotic play
The convict must also leave the country for ten years after serving his sentence. He admitted in court that he had set off the fireworks, but the report said it was an accident during an alleged erotic game. The woman, on the other hand, testified that she was often beaten by her husband and wanted to divorce him.
The perpetrator removed evidence before driving to the hospital
What was also stressful for the convicted man was that despite his wife’s heavy bleeding, he had not called the emergency services. He allegedly only took her to the hospital himself after removing evidence and cleaning blood from the floor. The Public Prosecution Service had demanded a higher sentence of 21 years in prison. However, the defense argued for bodily harm. The verdict can be appealed.
