‘Even if I would fight with someone, he would say: ‘Let it go, don’t worry, keep your mouth shut’,’ she said.
‘He was that kind of person, he would walk away, he didn’t want to fight.’
She said Mr Petr had finished working a night shift, but never made it back home after he was allegedly stabbed in the chest.
Mrs Petr added: ‘He was a really good person, really quiet and wouldn’t get involved with anyone because he liked to be in peace by himself.
‘He would like to always sit down and read books, then he would work hard in the evening and come home in the morning.’
Her comments come after 29-year-old Brian Lee was charged with murder on Sunday morning, accused of lunging at a man with a weapon before running away, The Daily Telegraph reported.
