UFA, 13 February 2020. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

The lawyer of the famous pop singer Valery Meladze and other stars, Ph.D. in law, member of the Presidential Human Rights Council Shota Gorgadze offered help to Vladimir Sankin, who is accused of killing a pedophile. The lawyer said that the other day he had spoken with the wife of the Ufa native, who was currently under home arrest.

"I am ready to take up his defense. It will not cost anything for the Vladimir family. The decision will be his and his wife's," Shota Gorgadze posted on his Twitter.

Sankins' acquaintances on social networks also report that the family receives unreasonable threats.

This resonant case occurred in Ufa. Vladimir Sankin claims that he was saving two teenagers aged 12 and 14 from a pedophile who was released from the colony less than a year ago. The deceased Zaitsev was serving a sentence for raping a minor. As a result, Sankin turned out to be the one who supposedly saved the children from the criminal but beat the offender of the schoolchildren to death. Later in the media, there was information about the conviction of the accused for theft.
