8/8/2007 Advocates ask to send Khudyakov-Arakcheev's case to Military Prosecutor's Office for additional investigation
At the session of the North-Caucasian Regional Military Court on the case of two officers (Evgeniy Khudyakov and Sergey Arakcheev), accused of murdering peaceful Chechens, the defendants' advocates have petitioned about sending the case to the Military Prosecutor's Office for additional investigation.
The "Interfax" reports that Dmitri Agranovskiy, Sergey Arakcheev's advocate, explained that the motive for this petition was in numerous violations revealed in the course of the court proceedings.
The "Caucasian Knot" reports that today in the course of the hearing of the case, the judge, after having made a number of warnings, has removed Alexei Dulimov, Arakcheev's advocate, away from the courtroom. Dmitri Agranovskiy, Arakcheev's second advocate, has explained that, in his opinion, the advocate was sent off not because of his incorrect behaviour, but because of his intention to move a petition about a repeated medical examination.
We note here that the North-Caucasian Regional Military Court is considering the case of Khudyakov and Arakcheev already for the third time. The servicemen were twice acquitted by the jurors, while the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation twice cancelled the jury's verdict.
See earlier reports: "Arakcheev-Khudyakov's case postponed till May 30."
