Villager hits neighbour with hammer and gets imprisoned for 6 years

An inhabitant of the village of Radzivilavichy, Hantsavichy District, hit his neighbour on the head with a hammer several times because the man “kept poking fun of him during their meeting”. As a result, “the jester” was delivered to hospital with severe injuries and the attacker was sentenced to six years of imprisonment. The villagers who attended the trial said that “the hammerer” was a calm and quiet man. The fight was explained by the fact that its participants were drunk.
