In Rostov, a man with a prior criminal record subjected a puppy to torture on video in an apparent bid to force a woman to come back to him. This disturbing account was shared by a Telegram channel reporting on the incident, referred to as Don Mash.
According to the channel, the Russian man asked the woman for housing help after a romantic relationship began, claiming he could not secure an apartment on his own. He reportedly registered the man with her, which complicated the living situation and set the stage for later tensions.
Over time, the relationship deteriorated as the couple lived together. The man allegedly began abusing alcohol and engaging in fights, and reports indicate he had multiple criminal convictions, including two for rape and robbery. Because the woman could not be evicted from the apartment, she ultimately left the residence to protect herself.
To coerce her to return, the man released a video showing himself torturing a puppy. In response, the woman filed a police report for animal cruelty. Law enforcement later detained the individual who wielded the knife during the incident, addressing the immediate threat to the victim and others nearby.
The case notes a prior conviction for violence in a relationship, with a separate incident referenced as having occurred after a period in the Northern Military District and subsequently in Chelyabinsk as part of an amnesty context. The evolving sequence of violence and coercion underscores ongoing concerns about safety and accountability in domestic disputes and criminal behavior in the region, as reported by the cited Telegram source.
This sequence of events has sparked discussions about housing instability, coercive control in relationships, and the criminal histories that sometimes accompany such cases. Authorities continue to investigate the broader context of the allegations to determine appropriate legal actions and safeguards for those involved, including the protection of vulnerable individuals and pets who may be caught in volatile situations.
