Skinheads charged in Moscow region killings to face trial
MOSCOW Feb 14
Moscow prosecutors have sent to court the criminal case against a
group of skinheads charged with eight counts of hate crime in the
Moscow region.
"The members of the group deliberately looked for people of non-
Slavic stock and attacked them. When they set out for their
'actions', they armed themselves with axes, hammers, knives, and also
took household gloves to avoid leaving evidence," the prosecutors
said in a release.
According to information in the possession of investigators, five
victims of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, and also a Russian
citizen with non-Slavic looks were attacked by neo-Nazis in the
period between February and April 2007. Two died at the scene, and
three are crippled.
