A 23 years old man and his 18 years old cousin were sentenced to 15 and 11 years of penal servitude, because they tried to kill an old man in Berettyóújfalu.
The two men committed many crimes together in their childhood. In 2012 January they wanted to start a new life in Budapest and to have enough money for the moving, they decided to rob an old man in Berettyóújfalu.
The old man noticed that they were in the house. He wanted to stop them, but he could not, since both of the defendants started to beat him; many of his bones were broken. The defendants took away his mobile phone, some cash, palinka and cigarettes.
Aggravating circumstances are that both of the defendants are subsequent offenders and they attacked an old man who could not defend himself. A mitigating circumstance is that the two men confessed the crime.
The verdict is not legally binding, the defendants could ask for mitigation.
