A man from Nógrád struck his brother in the head with an axe and then stabbed him to death nine months later.

A 31-year-old man from Somoskőújfalu has been charged with murder and causing life-threatening bodily harm after allegedly stabbing his brother to death during a fight in June 2025. The incident occurred in their shared home, where the intoxicated man grabbed a knife and stabbed his brother in the back. After the murder, he attempted to dispose of the knife and clean his bloody clothes, but the police found the evidence. This was not the first attack on his brother, as he had previously assaulted him with an axe in September 2024, resulting in life-threatening injuries. The prosecution is seeking a 15-year prison sentence and a 10-year ban from public affairs, along with the enforcement of a previous suspended sentence and payment of legal costs.
