Source: one of those convicted of the explosion at the Kotlyakovskoye cemetery in Moscow received a new term
The fate of Mikhail Smurov and Andrey Anokhin Kotlyakovskoye cemetery in Moscow, developed differently after the verdict in a high-profile case. This was announced on Wednesday, November 10, to Lente.ru by a law enforcement source.
Smurov in 2002 was found guilty of a terrorist attack and sentenced to 14 years in prison. Anokhin was on the run at that time, but in November 2003, investigators were able to establish his location. He was detained and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
“Today Mikhail Smurov has already served his sentence and lives inconspicuously in the Moscow region. As for Andrei Anokhin, shortly after his release, he again committed a crime and is currently in prison, ”the source said.
In 1996, a terrorist attack was committed at the Kotlyakovskoye cemetery in Moscow. The bomb planted by Anokhin and Smurov exploded on the grave of Mikhail Likhodey, head of the Russian Fund for the Invalids of the War in Afghanistan, who was killed in 1994. The terrorist attack killed Likhodey's widow, as well as 13 of his other relatives and friends.
Valery Radchikov, Likhodey's predecessor as head of the fund, was accused of organizing the explosion. However, he was acquitted by the court, and in 2001 he died in a car accident.
