In Novosibirsk, a 17-year-old boy was sentenced to six years in prison for murdering a man. At the time of the crime he was 17 years old. According to the file, the boy's father called his son and told him about a dispute with two men in the yard. He invited him to come help. The young man took a kitchen knife and went to the place. During the fight, one of the opponents hit the boy's arm and face, but then dropped the weapon. The young man then stabbed him at least eight times in the back. The victim died on the spot. The defense claimed that the boy acted in a situation of necessary self-defense. However, the court found that he armed himself in advance and after the attack, together with his father, tried to hide the circumstances of the murder. The father himself, according to the investigators, also held the witness so that he could not help the victim. In addition to imprisonment, 1.5 million rubles as compensation for moral damage was collected from the convict. The verdict has not yet entered into legal force.
