The court toughened the sentence of a resident of Evpatoria for murder

The Supreme Court of Crimea, on the appeal of the prosecutor’s office, increased the punishment of a 23-year-old resident of Yevpatoria, convicted of murder, desecration of symbols of military glory and insulting the feelings of believers. This was reported in the press service of the Prosecutor’s office of Crimea.

The supervisory authority appealed the sentence handed down by the Supreme Court of Crimea against a 23-year-old local resident and his 20-year-old acquaintance.

The young man was found guilty of murder, desecration of symbols of military glory of Russia and insulting the feelings of believers. The girl is in desecration of symbols of military glory and insulting the feelings of believers.

According to the case materials, in May 2025, the defendants distributed information desecrating the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland who died during the Great Patriotic War. In addition, the girl posted in one of the social networks an image insulting the feelings of believers.

Last summer, a young man, being in a state of alcoholic intoxication, came into conflict with a previously unknown resident of Yevpatoria. During the quarrel, he struck the opponent with a knife in the heart. The victim died in the intensive care unit of the city hospital.

The Supreme court of Crimea has appointed the young man six years and five months of imprisonment in a correctional colony of strict regime with a subsequent restriction of liberty for one year. The girl was sentenced to one year of forced labor with 10% of her salary deducted into state income.

The prosecutor's office disagreed with this verdict and filed an appeal. According to the results of its consideration, the punishment of a resident of the republic was increased to nine years and six months of imprisonment with serving in a correctional colony of strict regime.
