According to the testimonies of neighbours, the couple, who were not married and had been living together for the last few years, were facing various problems of a financial and medical nature and had frequent fights.

The 55-year-old woman, who worked occasionally in elderly care, had anger and alcoholism problems, while the victim, the 55-year-old man, who had a child from a previous marriage, had mental health problems.

In particular, the 55-year-old suffered from depression and was often threatened by his partner, especially when she drank and got drunk.

Last Thursday, the arguments between the couple became more intense, resulting in the 55-year-old taking a kitchen knife and plunging it into her partner's heart.
