Court Rejects Appeal for Man Who Killed Partner by Throwing Her from Balcony

A Slovak court has rejected an appeal for a new trial from a man serving 17.5 years in prison for murdering his partner by throwing her from a balcony. The defendant had traveled from Ružomberok to Košice to present his case, but the court denied his request to reopen the proceedings. The case involved a domestic violence murder where the perpetrator fatally pushed his partner from a balcony, resulting in the lengthy prison sentence that remains upheld.
