In the Supreme Court of the Donetsk People's Republic there was a trial on criminal case against citizen P., accused of rape and murder of a minor A., born in 2006.
Convicted P. has several previous convictions, including for rape of a minor, satisfaction of sexual passion in a perverted form with the use of physical violence, and a number of other crimes.
The court found that, on 21/08/2015 in Shakht¢ersk, citizen P. had committed rape of a minor, and other violent acts of sexual nature against the victim. Trying to avoid responsibility for the deed, the perpetrator killed the child.
Taking into account all the circumstances of the case, as well as the personality of the convict and the level of his public danger, the court decided: to convict P. of committing crimes under the Criminal Code of the Donetsk People's Republic? Namely, under Part 5 of Article 133 (Rape committed by a person who has previous conviction for a crime against the sexual inviolability of minors), Part 5 of Article 134 (Violent acts of sexual nature committed by a person who has previous conviction for a crime against the sexual inviolability of minors), clauses "c" and "l" of Part 2 of Article 106 (Murder of a minor or another person designedly to the guilty being in a helpless state, as well as conjugated with kidnapping in order to conceal another crime or facilitate its commission, as well as conjugated with rape or violent acts of sexual nature).
On cumulative offences the accused is given a punishment in the form of an exceptional measure – the death penalty with confiscation of all property that is considered to be the personal property of the convicted person.
