In the Kurumkansky district of Buryatia, a severe act of violence occurred when a local resident attacked a married couple with a poker. This information was released by the press service of the National Guard of the Republic, which confirmed the incident and provided preliminary details about the subsequent actions taken by law enforcement.
The events unfolded in the village of Kurumkan, where a woman, bleeding, arrived at a police station to report that she and her husband had been visiting a friend when they were assaulted with a wooden cane. Officers from the Russian Guard responded quickly, locating a visibly intoxicated man in the yard of the residence where the couple had been staying. Witnesses described seeing the injured partner fleeing the scene in a state of shock or distress as a vehicle pulled away from the curb.
Initial investigations revealed that the couple had gone to the host’s home for a social gathering. What began as a festive visit quickly spiraled into a physical confrontation. According to the statements collected by investigators, the host began striking the visitors with a metal stick, escalating the violence. The woman managed to break free from the assailant and alerted the authorities, while her husband attempted to defend himself and momentarily restrained the attacker before the situation could deteriorate further.
Following the assault, medical teams transported the victims to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. The alleged assailant was taken into custody by police officers at the scene, and a criminal case was opened to address the charges arising from the incident. The authorities stated they would pursue a thorough investigation to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crime and to gather additional evidence from witnesses and the scene itself.
According to preliminary findings, the suspect had a record of jealousy and a history of violent behavior connected to alcohol use with a prior acquaintance. Reports indicate that a dispute at the time of the visit may have been fueled by personal tensions, contributing to the escalation that led to the present aggression. The investigation will examine all aspects, including the relationship between the parties, the sequence of events during the visit, and any other factors that might explain how the confrontation developed into a dangerous assault. The case is being handled by the appropriate law enforcement authorities, who will provide updates as more information becomes available. This account is based on official statements released by the National Guard press service, which is monitoring the situation and coordinating with local police and medical responders.
