Also, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia ordered to report on the collected evidence that formed the basis of the verdict in the criminal case of the murder of a schoolgirl in the Tambov Region.

As it was reported earlier, the evidence collected by the Tambov Regional Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia was recognized by court as sufficient for sentencing of 36-year-old local resident. The man was found guilty of committing crimes under Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code (murder of a minor), Part 4 of Article 132 (violent acts of sexual nature) and Part 1 of Article 167 (intentional damage to property) of the Criminal Code.
