The verdict in the murder of a Vietnamese student has been appealed in St. Petersburg
On November 21, 2006, the city prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg appealed to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation against the verdict in the case of the murder of a Vietnamese citizen, student of Vu Anh Tuan Polytechnic University, committed in October 2004. The appeal against the verdict is due to the fact that, according to the prosecutor's office, the jury, who heard this case and delivered a verdict of not guilty , was pressured by the defendants and their lawyers.
