The Ostrog court found the 60-year-old citizen guilty of attempted murder. He was sentenced to 6 years 6 months imprisonment in a strict regime colony. This was reported by the regional department of the Investigative Committee.
According to investigators, in February 2026, a quarrel broke out between the convict and his acquaintance on Kirov Street. During the conflict, the man used a weapon of limited destruction and fired a shot in the face of the opponent. He then left the scene, but was soon arrested. Doctors managed to help the victim, so the tragic outcome was avoided.
The claim of the victim for compensation for moral damage was partially satisfied by the court - 500 thousand rubles were recovered in his favor.
Earlier, another high-profile case was considered in Ostrogozhsk. In June 2026, a drunk local resident Viktor Prokopenko strangled his aunt. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison in a high-security correctional colony.
