Widow of dismembered rapper Cartwright sentenced to 12.5 years in prison

Accused of murdering her husband, rapper Andy Cartwright (Alexandra Yushko) Marina Kohal was given 12.5 years in prison. This was reported on November 21 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

Kohal is taken into custody in the courtroom. She did not admit her guilt. Earlier, the state prosecution had requested 13 years in prison for her.

Yushko's dismembered body was found at the end of July 2020 in an apartment in St. Petersburg. According to the musician's wife, he died of a drug overdose, and she dismembered the corpse to hide the "inglorious" death of the rapper from fans. At the same time, no traces of prohibited substances were found in the body of the deceased. The investigation also put forward a version that Kohal injected her husband with a lethal dose of the drug on July 24, 2020, which caused death. After that, she dismembered the rapper's corpse, and later got rid of some of the skin and internal organs.

The rapper's wife was arrested and taken into custody. However, in October 2021, she was released under house arrest. On April 29, 2022, the Prosecutor's Office of the Central District of St. Petersburg approved Kohal's indictment and referred the case to the court. Kohal pleaded not guilty.

The rapper's mother-in-law, Elena Kohal, was also involved in the case, but her prosecution was terminated due to the lack of corpus delicti in her actions. In January 2023, Elena Kohal sued more than 500 thousand rubles from the investigation for an unsubstantiated case.
