Last night, the village of Horgești was shaken by a rare and tragic event that stunned even the most seasoned investigators. A man stabbed his girlfriend, the mother of his child, and then attempted to cover up his heinous crime by setting his own house on fire!
An Act of Incredible Heroism by an 11-Year-Old Brother
Amidst the chaos, the suspect’s 11-year-old brother performed a heroic act that saved the life of the couple’s 9-month-old baby girl.
Nightmare Unfolding in the Dead of Night
The tragedy occurred around 4 a.m., when the couple’s modest home became the scene of a monstrous crime. In a fit of rage, the man attacked his partner with a knife, stabbing her multiple times until she succumbed to her injuries. The horror didn’t end there. After committing the murder, he reportedly attempted to lay the victim on the bed and set the house on fire in a desperate bid to erase all evidence.
“I heard screams and then a strong smell of smoke. When I went outside, their house was already engulfed in flames,” a neighbor recounted, still shaken by the events.
A Heroic Rescue Amid the Flames
In a moment of chaos, an extraordinary act of bravery made the difference between life and death. The suspect’s 11-year-old brother risked his own life to save his niece. Despite the house being engulfed in flames, the boy entered and carried the 9-month-old baby out, rushing her to nearby relatives.
“If it weren’t for him, the baby would have burned alive. He came out crying, holding her in his arms. It was a miracle,” a close relative shared.
Baby in Critical Condition at the Hospital
Unfortunately, the baby girl did not escape unharmed. Doctors at the “Sfânta Maria” Children’s Hospital in Iași report that her condition is critical, with burns covering 30% of her body.
