Police ScotlandA man who fatally stabbed his friend after a drunk argument became violent has imprisoned for more than five years.
Dawid Majewicz, 43, hit Jacek Dembinski, 44, with a kitchen knife in Rosehill Court Tower Block, Aberdeen in August last year.
Dembinski underwent emergency surgery in Aberdeen Royal InfirMary, but died from complications.
Majewicz was originally accused of murder, but previously admitted the reduced position of guilty homicide. He was imprisoned for five years and four months in the Superior Court of Edinburgh.
Majewicz, a valid car, admitted to having assaulted and killed Mr. Dembinski on August 27 of last year. He fought with his victim, hit him in the arm with the knife and failed to accumulate emergency medical help for the victim.
Deputy Dipse Louise Beattie had previously told how Majewicz, who was born in Poland and moved to Scotland in 2008, had three previous convictions for violence, including the severe assault.
The two men were seen together in an elevator in Rosehill Court before entering Majewicz’s floor in the block.
The prosecutor said a neighbor heard sounds from an internal disturbance.
She told the Court that Majewicz’s position was that they were drinking when they started arguing, and that Dembinski had collected a bottle and had soft.
Police ScotlandThe court heard that Majewicz picked up the knife and wielded the gun. Duration a resulting fight, hit Dembinski on the arm with the blade after he was beaten with the bottle.
The wounded man was seen in the elevator who bleeding deeply from his arm and the neighbors who saw him outside the block of floors contacted with emergency services.
Mrs. Beattie said: “It was seen by a witness from her window in a nearby block of floors to collapse to the ground at what point the blood was spilling under it on the pavement.”
A witness who left Rosehill Court heard him say: “Help me, help.” It was to the help of the affected victim until emergency services arrived.
The police who went to Majewicz discovered that it was heavy spots.
He died after complications of the arm wound.
Defensor lawyer David Moggach told Lord Scott that Majewicz was “enormously and deeply repentant” or his actions.
“It was not his intention to kill Mr. Dembinski,” he said.
“He has to accept and live with the fact that his actions have turned out that he wants another person’s life. He is fighting with that.”
As a sentence passed, Lord Scott said: “There is no prayer that can impose that Mr. Dembinski can help or help his family deal with the loss of a loved one through a violent death.
“In all circumstances, a custody sentence, the only appropriate provision is in this case.
“It is necessary to punish you and see to dissuade you and others to act in this way and protect your public.”
Mr. Dembinski’s family said in a statement at that time: “Jace was a very dear son, brother, brother, uncle and stepfather. He will be very surprised by all.”
