Man stabbed neighbours over their pet dog barking

A 51-year-old man from the seaside town of Pomorie stabbed his neighbours with a knife because their pet dog was barking. The victims are a 46-year-old man and a woman.

The male victim suffered seven stab wounds - three to his left arm, three to his chest and a stab wound to the abdomen. The woman also had a stab wound in her abdomen, Bourgas police said on August 12.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon. After an argument with his neighbours, the attacker pulled out a folding knife, which he used to stab them. The victims were admitted to hospital for treatment, with no danger to life.

The perpetrator said the dispute with the neighbours had been going on for a long time and he had made repeated complaints about the barking dog. The knife used to commit the crime was recovered. Invetigation continues.
