MOSCOW, May 24 (RAPSI) – A prosecutor on Tuesday asked the St. Petersburg City Court to sentence Vyacheslav Finogenov, one of the defendants in a case on the murder of Dmitry Soshnev, the director of Coca-Cola plant near St. Petersburg, to life in prison, RIA Novosti reported.

In the meantime, the prosecutor demanded a 21-year prison term for another man charged with Soshnev’s murder, Denis Chkhitauri.

Finogenov and Chkhitauri were found guilty of killing the director of Coca-Cola plant on April 28.

Soshnev went missing in November 2014. Investigators have established that Soshnev met with Chkhitauri and Finogenov, who had a murder record, on December 28, 2014. The suspects lured him to a garage area in the Frunzensky District, where Finogenov allegedly shot Soshnev with a shotgun.

The defendants took the victim’s money (about 160,000 rubles or $2,400) and his BMW registration documents, which they planned to sell for 1 million rubles ($14,900), according to the Investigative Committee.

Chkhitauri and Finogenov were charged with murder, assault with intent to rob, document theft and trafficking in drug and weapons.
