Russian prosecutors demanded a life sentence...
The random shooting by a former head of a Moscow police station, Denis Yevsyukov, sparked nationwide outrage and prompted the dismissals of a number of top police officials in the Russian capital.
"I request the court to give a cumulative sentence of life imprisonment to Yevsyukov with the term to be served in a high security prison," prosecutor Amalia Ustayeva said at a Moscow City Court session.
Yevsyukov shot a female cashier when he began firing in a supermarket after an argument with his wife at a party, and also fatally wounded a taxi driver just before. He was also charged with attempted murder of 20 other people in the store and of police officers who tried to detain him.
"Yevsyukov"s deeds recorded on video tape need no comment," she said. "He demonstrated his power, humiliating people."
Yevsyukov, who has been found completely sane and competent to stand trial by a mental examination, partly admitted his guilt.
