In the case of the death of detainee Murat Borlakov at the police station, public prosecutor has asked the court to find five defendants guilty and sentence them to 10-15 years of imprisonment in a high-security penal colony. The trial is postponed until September 22.

Besides, the public prosecutor has asked 10 years of imprisonment for Rasul Mamchuev, the former chief of the Ust-Djeguta ROVD, and Taulan Aibazov, the former police officer.
