The 60-year-old victim lives in the house of the accused’s father in Balmazújváros. One of the victim’s legs was amputated, so he can only use a wheelchair, the county prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
On March 6 this year, the 26-year-old defendant and an acquaintance appeared at the victim’s place of residence, where they started talking. The man, who had difficulty moving, asked the accused to buy liquor, and for that he took money from his shirt pocket.
After the accused and an acquaintance returned from shopping, they drank alcohol together and talked. In the meantime, the accused repeatedly asked the victim to borrow several thousand forints. At first, the man did not want to lend, but finally gave in to the defendant’s repeated request and wanted to give two thousand forints.
When the victim reached into his shirt pocket to take out the money, the offender approached the man to take all the money from him. He first grabbed and pulled the victim’s hand, then threatened to abuse him.
As the man was tightly holding the money in his hand, the accused punched him three times in the face, then took HUF 18,500 by forcefully stretching his fingers.
The act of the accused was put to an end by the fact that his acquaintance noticed what had happened and dragged him away from the scene.
As a result of the defendant’s assault, the victim’s face suffered bruises that healed within eight days. According to the prosecutor’s statement, based on the injured parts of the body, the manner of the abuse and the magnitude of the force, the defendant’s intention was to cause more serious injuries that would take more than eight days to heal.
The investigating Balmazújváros police seized half of the stolen money from the accused and gave it to the victim, who during the investigation asked for compensation for the unreimbursed damage.
The District Prosecutor’s Office in Debrecen brought charges against the defendant, who is in custody and is particularly relapsing, at the District Court in Debrecen for the crime of robbery and the attempted crime of aggravated assault. In its indictment, the district prosecutor’s office proposed a custodial sentence and the additional penalty of disqualification from public affairs, as well as the compensation requested by the victim. The indictment also contains a reasonable motion in the event that the accused pleads guilty and waives his right to a trial in accordance with the indictment at the preliminary session of the district court.
