Maladzyechna Man Who Tattooed Fiancée, Leading to Her Death, Commits Suicide
Her death occurred as a result of sepsis. The wound on her arm from the tattoo was not the direct cause of death, but became the entry point for the infection.
Fragment of the tattoo Sasha chose to have applied before the wedding
The guy and girl decided to get married. Sasha had already chosen a wedding dress with open shoulders and planned to adorn her look with a tattoo on her forearm. Her future husband was a tattoo artist. The young man's experience at that time was considerable — about six years, reports "Minskaya Pravda".
In his apartment, a special place was set up for those interested: a medical couch, tattoo holder, tool rack, table, chair, and lighting lamps were installed. The guy had no medical education.
11 days before the wedding, the groom used a tattoo machine to apply a design to the girl's left forearm. The process took about an hour. After the procedure, the wound was treated with antiseptic, ointment was applied, it was covered with a wrap, and bandaged.
The next day, the wound was checked and treated again — everything looked normal. But just a day later, Sasha felt unwell: she couldn't finish her shift, and her temperature rose to almost 40°C.
By morning, her condition had slightly improved, but weakness persisted. She coughed, hardly got up, and ate nothing. At night, vomiting began, followed by loss of consciousness, diarrhea, and convulsions.
The guy called an ambulance. The girl was urgently taken to the hospital.
Almost a day later, she died. Doctors did everything possible, but help came too late.
Death occurred as a result of a generalized inflammatory process in the body (sepsis), which led to internal organ failure. The wound on her arm from the tattoo was not the direct cause of death, but became the entry point for the infection.
The young man's actions were qualified as causing death by negligence. The investigation concluded that he could have foreseen the danger. However, he did not live to face trial — he committed suicide without leaving a note.
The criminal case was closed due to the death of the suspect.
