MOSCOW, August 25 (RAPSI) – The Moscow City Court has sentenced native of Kirgizstan Makhmudzhan Matmusayev to 7 years in a maximum security penal colony for attempt on his neighbor’s life and assault on a police officer, the Moscow Main Investigative Directorate of Russia’s Investigative Committee informs RAPSI on Tuesday.

In early May, a Moscow district court dismissed the assault charges brought against the man on the base of a video record of the incident; however later investigators found out that Matmusayev attacked his neighbor with a knife and again petitioned the court to detain him on this new evidence.

The man has partially admitted guilt saying he was seriously drunk at the time he committed these crimes.
