As MK found out, the 64-year-old design engineer, who confessed to the police on June 7, now has a line of defense. According to the suspect, on June 4, together with his wife and Jack Russell Terrier dog, he sat on a bench and watched as the granddaughters of the deceased threw stones at ducks swimming in the pond. This angered the man and he insulted the children. The girls complained to their grandfather, who and his friend approached the bench — a showdown began. The engineer warned that he had a knife. According to him, the strangers allegedly hit him with brass knuckles, after which he stabbed one of the offenders in the chest. He later threw the crime weapon into the bushes.

However, witnesses do not confirm that the deceased attacked his opponent.
