The former commander of the 160th tank regiment, Colonel Yuri Budanov, was accused of abduction and murder of 18-year-old Chechenka Elsa Kungaeva. The process over the colonel lasted almost two years.
On December 31, 2002, the court recognized Budanov as insane and prescribed forced treatment in a special type of medical institution. The state prosecution and the side of the victims who appealed the verdict in the Supreme Court did not agree with this decision.
The court decided to cancel the verdict and appoint a new consideration of the case by other composition of the court.
