L. Mežuk was preparing to call the general helpline for two days: A woman who stabbed her friend tried to pretend that nothing had happened to other people, but did not go to work the day she called the police officers. , warned employers the night before that he would not be able to show up at work. affairs.

That the murder of a co-inhabitant is a personal matter, L. Mežuk believes even now that the woman prosecuted after the opening of the criminal case in the Vilnius Regional Court avoided publicity at all costs and asked not to be interested in the crime. When asked if she admitted the charges against her, the woman in general before the verdict said, “And what’s the difference for you? It’s my personal business.”

And right here he began to resent being filmed: “Oh, God, as abominable, there is no power that is through men. Man and so bad, and you want to make it worse. You have no conscience. “

Prosecutors who conducted the pre-trial investigation and transferred the criminal case to court found that L. Mežuk deliberately beat him at his home on February 11, 5 p.m. at midnight, while he was intoxicated with alcohol during a conflict with his partner Dmitry B. A blow to the chest with a knife. The man died bleeding from the injured rib and lung.

L. Mežuk reported the crime only on February 14, after midnight. Before that, he went to the store and bought a bottle of wine.

“I drank and decided to call the police,” the woman told investigators during the interview.

When asked why he did not call the ambulance or the police immediately, L. Mežuk was unable to reply, “I don’t know, I can’t explain it.”

During the survey, the woman said that she had met Dmitry B. about 8 years ago and that they had been living together since 2015. During these five years, the unregistered family had it all: A woman repeatedly called police officers because a partner had been violent against her. The police also called Dmitry B., because the partner did not allow him to enter the house, the woman wanted a friend to move out of his house.

“Conflicts generally arose because Dmitry was violent against me,” said Mežuk, who was charged with intentional murder.

The woman noted that the police officers were called only in exceptional cases, mainly reconciling with the violence.

According to her, the partner did not work anywhere, but consumed alcohol every day, but did not contribute to the well-being of the family. However, L. Mežuk also liked to drink: He admitted that he was drinking as a partner, and then several disagreements arose.

“The day I killed Dmitry, I came home around 5 p.m. from work, said the woman. Dmitry just sat in the kitchen and drank beer. I got very angry and started screaming that there was a disaster in the house, there were no stoves. It was cold at home and he was sitting and drinking beer. Dmitry cursed me with bad words in Russian, I realized that he did not care about my reproaches. Angry, I opened a bottle of wine and started drinking it. Then I started cooking, cut something with a knife, and Dmitry continued cursing and suddenly he undressed his sweater and shouted: “Kill me!” I said I wasn’t going to sit in jail for him. We were still angry, Dmitry became even more aggressive once he hit me in the face. I got mad: I held a knife in my hand and stabbed it in the chest area once. It immediately fell to the ground. “

The woman assured her that her partner was still alive at the time because she was breathing.

“After the hit, I dropped the knife in the closet and went from the kitchen to the room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep,” said the defendant.

The woman who woke up in the morning saw that Dmitry was still lying on the kitchen floor. “I didn’t touch him, I thought he was asleep,” said Mežuk.

The woman who went to work did not tell anyone what she had done, but did not hide that she had “lived inside” because of what had happened. And after work, he wasn’t in a hurry: he went to the neighbor, talked about life, but didn’t even mention the stabbed couple.

“When I returned home, I saw that Dmitry was still lying in the same place, had not contacted him, had not touched him,” the woman said during the interview.

He said that the roommate is dead, he only realized it the next morning because Dmitry continued to lie in the same place. “Also, his face was already bluish,” said the woman.

But, once again, he did not call the police: he went to work at a sewing store, where he suggested to his colleagues that he could not go the next day because he had business.

After work, he did not rush to his home: he walked through the supermarkets.

“When I came back at night, Dmitry was lying in the same place, so I went to sleep in my room. I knew I would call the police the next day,” he said.

The woman assured officials that she was very sorry that she killed her partner. “I want to apologize to your mother,” he said.

At that time, Dmitry’s mother wants to look L. Mežuk in the eye: A woman living in Belarus told the criminal court that she was unable to attend the hearing because people from Belarus are still unable to enter Lithuania.

Dmitry’s mother, who was recognized as a victim, told officials during the pre-trial investigation that the conflicts between her son and much older L. Mežuk were caused by alcohol consumption. The woman, who was in constant contact with her son in the Viber chat application, did not hide the fact that her son was aggressive after drinking and therefore used violence.

“I told Ms. Mežuk more than once that she would hate and kick my son out of the house, but she said she loved him very much,” recalled the victim.

According to her, the day her son did not answer the calls, L. Mežuk told her that Dmitry had finally been expelled from his home: he had given 100 euros and had been ordered to go to Visaginas, where he had previously lived.

Unable to contact her son in any way, Dmitry’s mother repeatedly called Ms. Mežuk and asked her to help her find her, and eventually asked to contact police officers. “They need to announce their search,” said a woman who lives in Belarus.

Although L. Mežuk promised to go to the officials for help, he did not keep his promise. And the day he announced on the general helpline that his partner had been murdered, he sent an alarming SMS to his mother: “I love, kiss, hug everyone, you don’t remember me wrong.”

A few days later, police officers informed Dmitry’s mother that her son had been killed, and she soon saw an article on the internet about a man killed in Vilnius. “The address of L. Mežuk’s house was written there,” recalled the victim.

If Ms. Mežuk’s guilt is proven in court, she will face up to 8 to 20 years in prison.
