Darya Trepova: Russian woman jailed for 27 years for cafe bomb killing
25 January 2024
Russian woman Darya Trepova has been sentenced to 27 years in jail for the killing of pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky last April.
Tatarsky was killed by a bomb in a statuette Trepova gave him, as he was about to give a talk in St Petersburg. Dozens were injured in the blast.
Trepova, 26, denied the charges, saying she thought the statuette contained a listening device.
She said she had acted on the orders of a Ukrainian contact, and was set up.
The sentence is one of the harshest imposed on a woman in Russia's history.
