The verdict stated that they had no right to parole, but they went to war, one of them returned after being wounded and bought an apartment in Orenburg with the payments

In Novosibirsk, the murderers of 19-year-old student Kristina Prikhodko were released from the colony, reported the local portal NGS. Maksim Ovchinnikov and Sergey Yulin were supposed to serve 22 and 18 years in the colony without the right to parole, but the girl's father learned that both criminals left the colony for the war in Ukraine. One of the murderers has already returned from the front and bought an apartment in Orenburg.

Kristina Prikhodko was killed in December 2017. The girl responded to an ad for cleaning a cottage, posted by Ovchinnikov and Yulin. When the student arrived at the two-story house, she saw that instead of a cottage, there was a summer house conserved for winter without heating. The girl tried to call someone, but the criminals took her phone away.

The girl was raped and then strangled, her face wrapped with plastic wrap. The body was taken to the forest and buried in the snow. The suspects were detained and charged with murder, rape, violent sexual acts, theft, and document abduction.

In September 2018, Yulin was sentenced to 22 years in a high-security colony, and Ovchinnikov to 18 years without the right to apply for parole. The court also ordered the defendants to pay the victim's family 6 million rubles, but they transferred no more than a thousand rubles.

However, recently Kristina Prikhodko's father received a transfer of 75 thousand rubles by court order, and he decided to find out what had changed. It turned out the money came from Ovchinnikov, while the colony's management reported that he left for the Special Military Operation in February last year. As the girl's father told NGS, Ovchinnikov was wounded in the war, received payments, and bought an apartment in Orenburg.
