A panel of jurors has passed a guilty verdict for six skinheads for
hate attacks and murders, the press service of the Moscow City Court
told Itar-Tass.
The defendants in the prisoner's dock are Dmitry Sudakov, Alexander
Kichutkin, Vladimir Belyakov, Alexei Kiselyov, Vladimir Stepanov,
Yemelyan Nikolayev and Stepan Kuzmin. Kuzmin was unanimously cleared
of the charges. The jury said the guilt of other defendants had been
fully proven.
According to the case materials, Belyakov, Stepanov, Kiselyov and
Kichutkin were underage as of the moment of crimes. Kichutkin already
had a conviction at the time.
In October 2009, Nikolayev, Sudakov, Belyakov and Kichutkin, armed
with knives, were walking along Vvedensky Street, looking for targets
to attack among persons of non-Slav appearance. An Armenian citizen
became their victim. He died of massive blood loss.
"Feeling ethnic hate and strife toward the man, and seeking to lynch
him, Nikolayev, Sudakov, Belyakov and Kichutkin attacked the victim,
stabbing, kicking and punching him repeatedly," the investigators said.
They stabbed the man at least 11 times and robbed him.
In March 2010, they committed a similar crime against a native of Asia
on a train between the Veshnyaki and Plyushchevo stations in Moscow.
One of the skinheads sprayed Mace in his face, and then his accomplices
beat up the man and stabbed him. The man died.
Another attack occurred in Akademik Artsimovich Street in April 2010.
This time, a wounded foreigner managed to escape.
The court will announce the verdict on October 30.
