A woman will be tried for stabbing her tyrannical husband to death in the back with a skewer. In Novosibirsk, 34-year-old Svetlana Sel will stand trial for intentionally causing grievous bodily harm resulting in death. She faces up to 15 years in prison. The woman said that her 48-year-old husband Alexander drank regularly and subjected her to severe beatings. On the fateful evening, he again attacked his wife and threatened to kill her, while breaking the door. Trying to defend herself, Svetlana grabbed a skewer from the table and hit her husband on the back. She called an ambulance and the police, but a week and a half later Alexander died in the hospital. Svetlana's lawyer insists that it was self-defense and asks to change the classification of the case.
