They will be held accountable for the blow: Russia will have a regulation for handling cases of beatings

The changes will not allow such statements from victims to be "wrapped up"

Earlier, on April 17, a man who raped his 27-year-old daughter while intoxicated was sent to a pre-trial detention center (SIZO). The defendant will remain under arrest for two months. It was clarified that the defendant had previously been convicted of murdering his own wife.
