A 38-year-old man with mental disorders stabbed his six-year-old son and then committed suicide jumping off the balcony of his flat.

The jump from the ninth floor of the block in Backston Brothers neighbourhood was fatal for Antonio Robinzonov who died on spot.

The stabbed child was rushed to hospital in grave condition and doctors said his life is at risk.

Two years ago the flat was again in the media limelight, when Robinzonov held his parents hostages for more than five hours. The drama then ended without casualties.
