recruits for the second time an old lady killer who kills every time he goes out

A repeat murderer who left prison to fight at the beginning of the war in Ukraine and after returning from the front He raped and killed an old womanhas become again released for the second time to combat. A scandal that highlights the enormous Difficulties Vladimir Putin faces in recruiting Russian citizens to fight against Ukrainian troops.

“My grandmother’s killer has escaped punishment for his crime again and has gone to fight in the war,” said the victim’s granddaughter, Anna Pekarevain an interview with the BBC.

The killer, Ivan Rossomakhinwas released in 2022 from a Russian prison, where he was serving a sentence 14-year sentence for another murder, to join the ranks of the mercenary group Wagner.

Months later, after fighting at the front, the Russian authorities allowed him to return to his home in the Vyatskiye Polyany district of the Kirov region of Russia. There, within a few weeks, attacked, raped and killed Yulia, an 85-year-old womanin his own residence.

In April this year Rossomakhin was found guilty of the rape and murder of the elderly woman and sentenced to 22 years in prison in a high security prison, later increased to 23 years.

However, according to his granddaughter Anna, the prison director has now notified the family that The murderer has been released again, On August 19th, to return to the front fight against Ukrainian troops.

The prison director signed this decision based on a specific Russian law that allows the Armed Forces to recruit prisoners to fight in the war in Ukraine.

The use of highly dangerous convicts proves, according to the granddaughter of the murdered woman, that The Russian Army desperately needs more recruits. “The authorities don’t give a damn about peaceful civilians if they allow people who have committed serious crimes to be exonerated and released from prison. This tells us that no one can feel safe in Russia,” he told the British broadcaster.

Furthermore, what the victim’s family fears most is that the criminal, now free again, will take retaliation against them. “If he comes back, he’ll try to get revenge on us for our efforts to get him sentenced to life in prison. It scares me to know that he’s not the only one. Even if he doesn’t come back, how many more murderers and psychopaths are out there?” he wonders.

Faced with this insecurity, Ana Pekareva is considering leaving the country and adds that other members of her family will go into hiding to avoid reprisals.
