In Bishkek, a Korean citizen drunkenly beat a drinking companion. Information about this is posted on the website of the Supreme Court of the Kyrgyz Republic.
According to the data, on January 19 of this year, 60-year-old South Korean citizen Zh.I. was visiting the victim P.K. Together they drank alcoholic beverages. During the feast, a conflict arose. Zh.D. grabbed a wooden sculpture and struck several blows in the face and head of P.K., then disappeared.
The suspect was detained, the court found him guilty and sentenced him to 5.5 years in prison. However, the defense of the culprit filed an appeal, in which it asks the court to reconsider the case. According to him, the verdict of the district court was passed unlawfully and unreasonably, since the expert opinion raises doubts about the validity of the conclusions regarding the infliction of grievous bodily harm to the victim.
“In addition, the investigation and the trial itself were clearly conducted with an accusatory bias. The court also ignored the fact that the victim attacked the accused and began to strangle, after which the accused began to fight back, ”the case says.
He asks to change the verdict of the district court and appoint Zh.D. punishment not related to imprisonment.
The victim’s defense also disagreed with the decision of the district court, they consider the punishment to be excessively lenient.
“When the crime was committed, the accused was in a state of strong alcoholic intoxication, was not able to adequately perceive the situation. In addition, the accused does not repent of the act he has committed, but, on the contrary, takes persistent and energetic attempts to evade punishment and threatens the victim with violence, ”the case says.
The victim’s defense asks Zh.D. to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term of 7.5 and recover from the accused in favor of the victim in compensation for moral damage the amount of 1 million 600 thousand soms.
In turn, the court, having examined the materials of the criminal case, changed the verdict of the district court and sentenced the accused to 2.5 years of imprisonment with a fine of 70 thousand soms in state revenue.
