The court has arrested a dog thief who killed a dog in New Moscow

The Moscow City Court rejected the appeal of Sergei Pai, accused of stealing and killing a border collie named Sima in New Moscow. This was announced on December 17 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

Earlier, a source familiar with the process said that Pai had admitted his guilt. At the same time, he stated that he had killed the dog allegedly for the sake of treating his sick daughter.

A criminal case was opened into the incident, and volunteers joined the search for the attacker. It soon became clear that Pai had already appeared in criminal reports — six years ago, activists in Stupin near Moscow came out to his family.

About two dozen collars, knives and a half-dead dog were found in the man's car. At the same time, his wife claimed that all the finds were just thrown at them.
