Former Brest policeman gets 15 years in prison
The Brest Regional Court has sentenced former police officer Leonid Kozeko to 15 years in prison for gunning down a 23-year-old man in May 2001. The Supreme Court of Belarus has let the sentence stand.
The killing occurred while Mr. Kozeko was consuming liquor with three friends at a warehouse in Brest that he was supposed to be guarding. In the middle of the party, as if joking, he pulled out his service pistol, put it to the head of one of the friend s, then pulled the trigger. The man died in the hospital the following day.
