MOSCOW, September 24 (RAPSI) - Victims of the Moscow school shooter, who was sentenced to compulsory treatment, have filed a cassational appeal with the Presidium of the Moscow City Court, Trunov, Aivar and Partners, the firm representing the victims, informed on its website on Thursday.

The incident took place on February 3, 2014, when a Moscow student brought a rifle and a carbine to school. He killed a police officer and a teacher, injured one more person and took hostages.

The Investigative Committee found that the student fired at least 11 times from the small caliber rifle before he was arrested.

The teenager partially admitted his guilt. The psychiatric evaluation showed that he is mentally fit. Last summer, the Moscow City Court confirmed the original court’s ruling that the student undergo compulsory medical treatment.

In their appeal, the victims’ attorneys request that the original ruling of the Butyrsky District Court be overturned as well as the ruling of the Moscow City Court in the appeal. The attorneys want the case to be returned to the court of original jurisdiction for a review starting from initial proceedings.
