A man from Dubăsari might spend the next 20 years behind bars, for murdering in cold blood another villager.

The incident took place in May, when one of the district's cities was celebrating City Day. The suspect, drunk at the time, started a fight with another villager, having stabbed him with a knife afterward. The victim passed before help could arrive.

Prosecutors have finished investigating the case and sent all evidence and files to court.

If found guilty, the 27-year-old suspect risks to spend the next 20 years in jail, or life imprisonment.
