1 March, 2010 year. The Republic of Mari El, Yoshkar-Ola. On 26 February 2010 the Yoshkar-Ola town court of Mari El Republic heard the civil suit against the Ministry of Finance of Mari El Republic filed by Lyudmila Lebedeva to obtain compensation for moral damage. The court awarded her 280 000 rubles for the death of her son killed in discharge of his duty by his mate.
| At night on 4-5 July 2008 at the police post “Rubezh”, located on the border of Mari El and Tatarstan, major Mikhailov who was on duty that day stopped a car and prepared an administrative offense protocol for the driver. The driver found the accusations unjustified and complained to the department of Internal Affairs saying that the traffic police officer behaved inadequately. After that captain Artem Turanov from the Volzhsk Department of Internal Affairs went to the police post with an inspection. He suggested that Mikhailov should come off duty and have a rest because he looked exhausted. However, the major took out his Makarov gun and shot at the inspector twice. Then he fired at his mate, lieutenant Dmitriy Lebedev, and when he fell down he shot him in the forehead. Lieutenant Lebedev died on the spot; captain Turanov was taken to hospital and survived.
According to the case file, after shooting at his colleagues major Mikhailov tried to commit suicide but he failed. Criminal proceedings were started right after the incident.
On 24 July 2009 the Supreme Court of Mari El convicted senior traffic police inspector Vasiliy Mikhailov. He was found guilty under p.1 art. 105 (murder) and p.3 art. 30, cl. “a”, p.2 art. 105 (attempted murder of 2 people) of the RF Criminal Code. The court sentenced Mikhailov to 15 years of imprisonment in an increased security penal colony.
When the verdict entered into force Lyudmila Lebedeva filed a suit to Yoshkar-Ola town court claiming compensation for moral damage, caused by unlawful actions of the police officer.
The public investigation on the case of Vasiliy Mikhailov was conducted jointly by Regional public organization “Human being and Law” and INGO “Committee against Torture” (Nizhny Novgorod). |
