It happened in Zamoshye

Excessive alcohol consumption once again brought citizen Veligura, a young man with an education but not working in his specialty, who led an idle lifestyle and was the guardian of a disabled father, to the dock. His parents lived without registration in the village of Zamoshye, Beshenkovichi district, while he lived in Vitebsk, sometimes coming to solve their problems.

On April 5, 2017, Veligura was with his parents in the village of Zamoshye. From early morning, he was engaged in a good deed, organizing his mother's trip to the doctor in Vitebsk. Around 2 PM, he arrived in the village of Sorzhitsa, where he bought groceries and a bottle of vodka at a store. Pensioner Karelin lived in the almost deserted village. He lived quietly, helping his neighbors.

Veligura and Karelin's paths crossed on a village street, and they drank the bottle of vodka Veligura had bought in Karelin's bathhouse with good snacks. Veligura treated Karelin to a pack of cigarettes, and Karelin treated him to birch sap, which they went to get together. And everything was fine, but the alcohol they had drunk was not enough. Veligura decided to go to the village of Sorzhitsa for more vodka. And it so happened that his father's car, which he couldn't start in the morning for the trip to the polyclinic, started up. The absence of a driver's license and an unserved sentence in the form of deprivation of the right to engage in activities related to driving vehicles did not stop Veligura. The vodka was delivered, and the pleasant conversation over a bottle continued. At some point, Veligura discovered his wallet was missing, which he had picked up when it fell out of his blind father's pocket, and his father didn't notice. Suspicion fell on Karelin, but he did not confess to the theft. In his alcohol-addled mind, images of conversations with his father about the missing wallet arose, and Veligura brutally beat Karelin, then got back into his father's car and drove out of the yard towards the village of Telepy. He understood that he was breaking the law, driving without a driver's license while intoxicated, and upon seeing an oncoming car, he made an unsuccessful U-turn, drove into a ditch, and, jumping out of the car, headed through the bushes to his parents' house. On the way home, he managed to argue with a neighbor, and upon the arrival of police officers, he resisted them. The next day, Karelin was found dead near his home. As a result of all Veligura's actions, a criminal case was initiated on 3 counts of crimes, and ultimately Veligura was found guilty by the court of intentionally inflicting minor bodily injuries on the victim Karelin on April 5, 2017, while intoxicated, during an argument arising from hostile relations, by intentionally striking him at least 9 times with his fists and shod feet in the head, neck, and left hand, causing him, according to the expert's conclusion, minor bodily injuries.

He, being a person who had previously committed a crime under Part 1 of Article 317-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, for which he was convicted on February 11, 2013, by the Pervomaisky District Court of Vitebsk for driving a vehicle while intoxicated, committed within one year after the imposition of an administrative penalty for similar violations, on April 5, 2017, while intoxicated and without the right to drive a vehicle, drove a VAZ-2102 car belonging to his father.
