Police officers in Omsk became defendants in a criminal case on charges of unintentional murder, the Telegram channel reported. “Pay attention to the news”.
The 33-year-old lieutenant, 27-year-old non-commissioned officer and 24-year-old lieutenant are accused of beating a detained person. The man, who was battered by the law enforcement officers, died as a result of his neck, eye and rib fractures, as well as the damage to his lung.
On Sunday, April 9, three police officers arrived at the call of the residents of the Omsk five-story building. Callers reported a smell of gas at the entrance, as well as screams and the sound of breaking plates. They said that the residents of the neighboring apartment, where the 69-year-old woman lived with the 45-year-old tenant, were responsible for what happened. Recently, a retiree started renting out one of his rooms to a man.
Upon entering the indicated apartment, the police found that its tenant had behaved inappropriately. He shouted that he would kill everyone, and before that, he broke the glass and opened the gas, and cut his hands with the piece he had obtained. The formerly aggressor used unknown drugs and threatened the landlord with a screwdriver. Likewise, he continued to act with representatives of the authorities. Then three men knocked him down and beat him with a bunch of batons.
The defendants handcuffed the victim and tied his legs with a belt. It is not known how long they continued to beat the detainee, but as a result, the victim lost consciousness and died.
Now, according to the channel, a criminal case has been opened against those involved in the victim’s death for abuse of power and harming health that leads to death. The offender could face 10 years in prison.
