A court in Khmelnytskyi region sentenced a border guard who shot his officer with a machine gun in February this year. The accused was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
The 36-year-old junior sergeant of the border detachment stepped into the uniform and received an AK-74. With it, he shot his commander, with whom he was in "unfriendly relations", in front of the entrance to the officers' canteen.
At the court, he stated that the day before, the chief had beaten him and another soldier. The leadership of the unit promised to find out, but the man began to be "haunted by obsessive thoughts that he should shoot his boss." At the same time, he says that he did not want to kill him.
The forensic psychiatric examination came to the conclusion that the man does not have mental disorders and he is saying this for the purpose of his defense.
