The attack took place in the northwestern village of Staskov. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident as a case of premeditated murder, according to police.
Details about the circumstances that led to the attack, as well as the conditions of the two injured victims, have not been fully disclosed. Slovak authorities are continuing to investigate the events surrounding the stabbing.
