Man killed and brother seriously injured following axe attack in Galați

A violent dispute that broke out at the beginning of the week in Galați county ended tragically: a 58-year-old man has died, and his brother, aged 56, is fighting for his life in the Intensive Care and Anaesthesiology unit. The alleged perpetrator was detained by law enforcement and subsequently remanded in preventive custody.

The spark for the conflict appears to have been an earlier assault on the victim's son. The young man reportedly returned home with bruises and head injuries, wearing sunglasses to hide his swollen face. According to statements from a family acquaintance, cited by TVRInfo, the boy was initially reluctant to reveal what had happened to him.

Reports indicate that the young man's partner may have incited someone to strike him and record the scenes of violence. When the relatives discovered the truth, the young man's father and uncle set out for the residence of the individual believed to be responsible, intending to find out why the beating had occurred.

However, the confrontation turned into a nightmare. Once they arrived there, the two brothers are said to have been attacked with an agricultural tool. Witnesses from the area stated that they learned of the incident late and that the men went to the address in question after finding out about the beating suffered by the young man.

Both victims were rushed to the hospital unit in Galați with serious injuries. The 58-year-old did not survive, and the other remains under strict medical supervision.

A representative of Galați County Police, Felicia Tudoran, communicated to the source mentioned that the individual is said to have struck the two men, using hard objects as well, and the victims were immediately transported for medical care.

Prosecutors have taken over the investigation, and magistrates have decided to deprive the suspect of liberty for 30 days. The investigation continues to establish the exact circumstances of the event.
