A resident of Verkhnedvinsk strangled his former teacher

May 4, Vitebsk /Olga Bogacheva - BELTA/. A resident of Verkhnedvinsk strangled his former teacher, investigator-criminalist of the Vitebsk Regional Prosecutor's Office Vladimir Baidanov told a BELTA correspondent. Late at night, the 33-year-old man came to the house of the elderly teacher and began to beg her for money for alcohol. The woman refused, reproaching the young man for idleness. The moralizing and lectures of the 82-year-old woman angered the former student. He grabbed her by the neck and strangled her, and then, trying to hide the crime, set fire to the house. A criminal case has been initiated against the resident of Verkhnedvinsk under paragraph 2 of part 2 of Article 139 of the Criminal Code of Belarus, which provides for the most severe punishment, up to life imprisonment. An investigation is underway.-0-
