The 54-year-old Bulgarian citizen, Boris Slavov, was sentenced in Spain to 7 years behind bars over the attempted murder of his girlfriend.
The information was reported in the Spanish "La Provincia" electronic media.
The tragic incident occurred on September 15 2007, in the southern side of Spain's Gran Canary island. Boris and his girlfriend Sibyl had an argument in her apartment. The man grabbed a knife with a 10-cm-long blade and stabbed the victim in the chest and the stomach. He then refused to offer any help and despite her pleas remained inside the house for 6 hours, waiting for Sibyl to die from blood loss. He told her he would kill himself with the same knife.
Only after the victim revealed she had EUR 1,000 in her closet and asked Boris to take the money and use them to find help, the perpetrator left the house with the stash. Instead of seeking help, he went to airport, trying to flee the island. In the mean time Sibyl managed to find help herself. Boris was arrested by the authorities at the Gran Canary airport.
The incident's cause is listed as alcohol overdose. According to the magistrates, the amount of alcohol, consumed by Boris Slavov was the extenuating circumstance, leading to the lighter sentence. The Las Palmas Court judged that the man committed the crime under the influence of alcohol and should receive only 7 years behind bars.
