Supreme Court rejects appeal against life sentence for maniac Mozglyakov

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation did not consider the appeal of Nikolai Mozglyakov for a life sentence and returned it to the applicant, according to the court filing on December 10.

It follows from the documents that the complaint was returned. The reason for the return of the complaint was Article 401.17 of the CPC (inadmissibility of repeated cassation appeals, submissions).

Thus, it is impossible to file a complaint if it has not been considered in court before or if it was left without satisfaction. The convicted person's cassation appeals were filed five times during the year.

On December 22, 2008, the Chelyabinsk Regional Court sentenced Nikolai Mozglyakov, accused of the murder of two schoolgirls in the town of Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk Region, to life imprisonment in a special regime colony. The bodies of the two seventh-grade girls were found in the woods near the cemetery in Zlatoust on April 2, 2008. The body of one of the girls showed signs of strangulation, while the second had multiple stab wounds. This murder caused a wide public outcry. The only surviving girl was found near the cemetery with signs of rape and stab wounds to the back, chest and neck.

Chelyabinsk Region prosecutor Alexander Voitovich said he was satisfied with the verdict. According to him, there will be no cassation appeal. At first Mozglyakov claimed that he did not remember what he was doing at the time of the crime, but then he began to cooperate with the investigation.
