Kultenbrunner's accomplices Dadaev and Yesherkaev were sentenced to 19 and 16 years of custody respectively.

According to Public prosecutor's office of Austria, Lecha Bogatyrev, the direct executor of the murder, is still in search, BBC reports.

It should be reminded that Public prosecutor's office of Austria had demanded to sentence all the three persons accused of Umar Israilov's murder to life imprisonment.
