According to the investigation and the court, the man systematically beat his wife and her ten-year-old son for two years. In February 2022, demanding strict submission and obedience from his stepson, he strangled the child.
“The court took into account the evidence collected by the investigation, found the man guilty and sentenced him to 20 years in prison with a restriction of freedom for a period of 1.5 years to be served in a high-security correctional colony,” the press service noted.
Earlier it became known about the arrest of a St. Petersburg woman who was accused of murdering her eight-month-old daughter.
