The father of the murdered ex-GRU special forces soldier Nikita Belyankin, Aleksey on December 27, said that he was satisfied with the sentences to the participants in the murder of his son.

A well-deserved punishment, although morally, like a father who lost his son … as I said, punishment should be alternative, at least for murderers (life imprisonment – Ed.), ”He said.
Alexey Belyankin was recognized by the court as the injured party.
