RIA Novosti reported this.
The deceased SVO soldier, 37-year-old Maxim Nikitin, was taken to the paramedic and obstetric center unconscious in September.
Doctors were told that he fell and hit his head in a bar, but he never woke up from his coma and died.
It is reported that a conflict broke out between the deceased and Baizhumenov in a bar.
The accused stated that he was simply defending himself and did not admit his guilt.
According to the lawyer, the military man tried to stand up for the girl whom Baizhumenov had offended.
According to the agency, now the Investigative Committee will look into the validity of the verdict.
Previously, a case of attempted murder was opened in St. Petersburg after an attack on a SVO member.
