The Elektrostal City Court of the Moscow Region sentenced Zafar Razokov and Ilya Taigunshoev to three and a half years in prison in the case of assault and scalping of a young man. This was reported by the press service of the courts of the Moscow region.
The men were found guilty of hooliganism (Part 2 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code) and causing moderate harm to health (points “d”, “e” and “h” of Part 2 of Article 112 of the Criminal Code). They must also pay the victim 750 thousand rubles in compensation.
In July, Razokov and Taigunshoev attacked 19-year-old Elektrostal resident Yuri Markov. According to the victim, he approached “two people of non-Russian appearance” and asked them for a cigarette. They didn’t like his green mohawk.
“At the end of this conversation they began to cut off my hair along with part of my scalp. Then they threatened a little,” Markov told the authors of the Mash telegram channel.
Razokov and Taigunshoev were detained and arrested a few days after the attack. During the first court hearing on the merits of the case, as TASS reported, the men admitted their guilt. They explained their actions by saying they were drunk.
