Moscow: A young man who brutally assaulted, raped and strangled his ex-girlfriend with a cable has been released from prison in Russia. A young man named Vladislav Kanius was released after just one year in prison. He was sentenced to 17 years. But he was released by Russian President Vladimir Putin when he announced that he would participate in the war against Ukraine. He brutally killed his ex-girlfriend Vera Pekhteleva.

Kanuse stabbed his ex-girlfriend 111 times, raped her and tortured her for three and a half hours over a breakup. The media reported that he was strangled to death with an iron cable. Pictures of Vladislav, who carried out the brutal murder, in military uniform and armed with weapons have emerged. Then the mother of the young woman, Oksana, came to the scene. She said that she was shocked by the state’s lawlessness and did not know what to do.

Alyona Popova, a women’s rights activist, said prison authorities had confirmed that Kanus had been transferred to Rostov in southern Russia, which borders Ukraine. It was stated that Kanuse was pardoned and his sentence commuted by presidential decree on April 27. Meanwhile, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov defended the government’s decision. He said Russian prisoners were atoning for their crimes with blood, AFP reported.
