11 January 2006 :

a man was sentenced to death and his minor accomplice to 15 years imprisonment after the Minsk Regional Court, Belarus, found them guilty of committing three murders.
The two were found guilty of murdering a resident in Plyusna village, Lyuban district, and her 11-year-old daughter in the summer of 2005 after the woman had complained to police that the men had previously assaulted her. They reportedly entered the woman's house while she and her daughter were asleep, inflicting 40 wounds upon both victims with a knife and an axe.
The older offender confessed to the murder while visiting a 17-year-old woman in the same village the following day. He then stabbed her to death to avoid arrest. The men, who were under the influence of alcohol during all of the killings, were caught hours after the third murder in a forest near the village of Prussy, Stariye Dorogi district. The names of the two convicts were not revealed.
