MOSCOW, June 7 (RIA Novosti) – A suspect in the shooting spree of six people in the southwestern Russian city of Belgorod has been found fit to stand trial, a spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee said Friday.
Sergei Pomazun is accused of killing three people with a rifle at a hunting store in Belgorod on April 22 before going out onto the streets and killing three passersby outside the store: a 45-year-old man and two girls, aged 14 and 16, who were students of a nearby school. Pomazun was detained as he tried to flee the city late April 23.
“More than 50 expert evaluations have been ordered as part of investigation. … Pomazun underwent a comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric evaluation, which found him fit to stand trial,” spokesman Vladimir Markin said Friday.
