Moscow judge who sentenced neo-Nazis shot to death
Legal World
A judge who sentenced to prison neo-Nazis responsible for dozens of hate killings was gunned down Monday amid a surge of violence against activists and officials opposed to Russian nationalists.
Moscow City Court judge Eduard Chuvashov was shot contract-style in the stairwell of his apartment building in central Moscow, Russia's top investigative body said.
The murderer used a silencer and left no shells, but investigators obtained footage from surveillance cameras showing a tall Slavic man, about 30-years-old, coming out of Chuvashov's apartment building shortly after the killing, it said.
