Porridge Incident in Komi: Trial of a Priluzsky District Resident
A resident of the Priluzsky district in the Komi Republic will stand trial for brutal assault on an acquaintance who ate porridge without permission, according to the press service of the public prosecutor’s office.
According to investigators, the incident occurred in October 2024 at a house where two men planned a small gathering. The visiting man provided money to his host and sent him to a shop to buy alcohol. When the guest returned, he found a stranger at the residence asking for shelter. The intruder reportedly climbed into a refrigerator, removed porridge, and ate it.
The host grabbed a log and struck the man eating the porridge several times. The injured guest fled into the street, and passersby called an ambulance. The host and his companion continued the gathering after the assault. A criminal case was opened, and the investigation materials were submitted to the court for assessment.
Earlier, the defendant had gone to search for his missing father-in-law. During that time, he allegedly attacked a neighbor and struck him on the head with a stick.
The case will be heard in court, and authorities will determine the charges based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
