In the village of Vodytsia, Zakarpattia, a 39-year-old man was detained on suspicion of intentional murder of his cohabitant. The woman's body, with stab wounds and signs of strangulation, was found in the house, and the suspect himself was injured. According to the police, a domestic conflict occurred between the couple. This was reported by the Main Directorate of the National Police of Zakarpattia Oblast, as conveyed by UNN.
On August 7, around 2 PM, a resident of Vodytsia village, Rakhiv district, called the police. The woman stated that her neighbor had just left his home with bloodstains. According to her, he likely inflicted stab wounds on his cohabitant. A rapid response investigative and operational group from the Rakhiv District Police Department immediately went to the scene. Inside the house, in the middle of the room, law enforcement officers found the body of a 45-year-old local resident with a stab wound to the neck and signs of strangulation. Next to her was the injured cohabitant of the deceased — the 39-year-old owner of the dwelling.
It is noted that during the initial investigative actions, it was preliminarily established that a domestic conflict arose between the cohabitants, during which the man inflicted bodily injuries incompatible with life on the woman.

Expert examinations have been ordered in the case to clarify all circumstances of the incident. The investigation is ongoing.
Let's add
As reported by journalist Vitaliy Hlahola, the man is likely a serviceman who is AWOL. He sustained severe mutilation — his penis was allegedly cut off.
However, this information currently lacks official confirmation.
