MOSCOW, November 20 (RAPSI) - Russian Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected an appeal against the life sentence of Sergei Pomazum, dubbed "Belgorod Shooter, for killing six people in April 2013, RAPSI reports from the courtroom.

In the appeal, Pomazun's attorney requested the case files to be reviewed by a psychiatrist, as it now contains only a clinical review that deemed Pomazun sane. Among other things, Pomazun has claimed on trial to have participated in the North Caucasus counter-terrorism campaign, a claim later refuted by numerous witnesses during cross-examination.

The appeal also notes that no motive for the rampage is present, as the accused was living in a relatively balanced family.

The infamous Belgorod shooter was found guilty of six counts of murder and sentenced to life on August 23. 

He has also been ordered to pay three million rubles (approximately $91,000) in compensation to the relatives of one of the victims whose life was lost during the shootout. The initial claim sought 50 million rubles, but the court opted for a significantly lower sum.This was the only claim filed for personal damages in the aftermath of the shooting. The other victims and survivors opted not to seek compensation from Pomazun.

On April 22, Pomazun opened fire in a weapons store killing three people, and then shot another three people on the street outside. Five people died on the scene, including a 14-year-old girl. Another victim, a 16-year-old girl, died later in intensive care.
