According to the Telegram channel “112”, a gun was found in the car. The man himself remains in the hospital, his ward is guarded by police officers. Murachev had a previous criminal record for grievous bodily harm and extortion. According to the Irkutsk Political Telegram channel, Murachev had previously been convicted of fraud and the seizure of a factory in Megeta by raiders.
40-year-old Rakislov, who heads the Boxing Federation in Angarsk, won the Russian boxing championship in 2008, became the bronze medalist of the national championship in 2005 and 2007. He is a world champion among police officers, a master of sports of international class.
Gunner Murachev could be a fighter of the private military company Wagner. Vyacheslav Pomytkin, vice-president of the Angarsk Boxing Federation, stated this in a conversation with socialbites.ca. He also said that Murachev had returned from the special operations area about a week ago. Pomytkin could not say anything about the causes of the conflict.
“No one knows what caused the conflict. This man entered the cells and immediately opened fire, did not speak, immediately began shooting. And this comrade usually sat down and then went to Wagner, went to PMCs for six months, I think he came a week ago, ” said the AFB vice president.
According to him, the head of the AFB, Alexander Rakislov, was injured – “he was not very familiar with the shooter.”
“HE [Ракислов] sat down and drank coffee. His condition is serious, nothing is known, gunshot wounds to the legs and everything is visible. Since Rakislov, the sports director, lived in Moscow, they hardly knew each other, ”explained.
Pomytkin emphasized that the shooter is not affiliated with the Angarsk Boxing Federation.
“What turned on his head and opened fire? He was associated with the Akhmat fight club until his release. no not related [Ангарской] boxing federation,” he said. The AFB vice-president said that Oganez Tumanyan, who was shot to death and managed to injure Murachev with a knife, was also “occupied with business and will open a boxing federation in Baykalsk”.
Criminal lawyer Maxim Kalinov said in a comment to socialbites.ca that he could face Murachev for killing Tumanyan and injuring Rakislov with a bullet.
“Concerning the conflict that took place at the Coffee Like cafe today, it must be said: The murderer will face a prison sentence of 8 to 15 years. Considering that the murder was committed by bullets, I think that depending on the tactics of the defense, the court will find the suspect guilty and the sentence will be around 10-12 years in prison. It’s just for a crime. For the second crime, punishment will be imposed on a survivor, most likely, causing grievous bodily harm from hooligan motives with the use of weapons, that is, according to part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. – Up to 10 years in prison. In practice, by law, when a person commits two crimes, the court sums up the penalties for the two crimes by absorbing the greater penalty with the smaller one.
Penalties will be stacked by the court according to the rules for collecting crimes, and if the perpetrator admits his crime, I think the final sentence will be given in the range of 13-15 years in prison,” he said. lawyer.
Kalinov also described what threatened the accused if he did not plead guilty, and talked about how Murachev’s previous conviction could affect the sentence in the new trial.
“If the accused suspect does not plead guilty and the defense tactics are not suitable for this case, then the sentence may have already exceeded the figure I declared. Because not recognizing the crime and not being compensated for material and moral damage greatly increases the prisoner’s years of imprisonment. Naturally, if the relatives of the deceased and the seriously injured person make such a request and express their wishes, they will be considered as both the victim and the plaintiff at the same time. This ensures that you do not go to court again for compensation for material and moral damage.
All this will affect the final punishment. Judgment will come true.
If we take into account that the perpetrator has been previously convicted of fraud, for example, he has some suspended convictions, suspended sentences, then these will be added to the sentence that the court will give in a new criminal case,” he stressed.
Kalinov also noted that Murachev’s stab wounds from Tumanyan are unlikely to seriously affect the final decision.
“The fact that the shooter has been stabbed multiple times will neither affect self-defense nor exceed the necessary defense limits, because the court will act on the fact that the person has shot his vital organs with a pistol. Maybe as a minor mitigating factor, but basically the punishment won’t change that,” the lawyer concluded.
