A man died from stab wounds after 'falling onto his own knife' during a row with a housemate, an inquest has heard. Hubert Kacperek sadly passed away on April 12, 2021 at a house in Eccles.
The opening day of an inquest into his death at Bolton Coroners Court today heard how the 41-year-old was said to be holding the kitchen knife during a ‘coming together’ with a housemate, Aderman Laban, on the day of his death. Mr Laban told police that as Hubert came at him with the knife in his right hand, he ‘twisted’ Hubert’s hand and pushed him away, the inquest heard.
Mr Laban went on to tell police that his housemate fell and the knife went into Hubert’s chest, the hearing was told. Mr Laban said he attempted CPR on Hubert before calling police and claiming that he had stabbed someone.

Dr Charles Wilson, a Home Office pathologist, recommended that the cause of death for Hubert should be recorded as a stab wound to the chest.
Dr Wilson’s said that Hubert was found with a stab wound near his armpit of his left arm, a collapsed lung and severe bruises and cuts to his elbow, palm and thumb. However, he added that there was no signs Hubert was involved in a fist fight.
In relation to Mr Laban’s recount of Hubert holding the knife at the time of the incident, Dr Wilson said that ‘accidentally caused stab wounds are very rare’ but ‘the specific circumstances of this case do sit very well with the account given by Mr Laban.’ Hubert's direct family members were not in court, however his close friends, Krzystof Glydziak and Dagmara Dag, attended on behalf of his family, who are originally from Poland.
