A Russian court has sentenced Darya Trepova, the St. Petersburg resident accused of killing pro-Kremlin “war correspondent” Vladlen Tatarsky last year, to 27 years in prison.

Trepova was charged under articles in the Russian Criminal Code related to terrorism, trafficking explosives, and forging documents.

Russian prosecutors had requested a 28-year prison sentence.

Trepova did not admit guilt in relation to any of the charges; however, she did not deny giving Tatarsky a small bust of himself which was filled with explosives. Trepova maintains that she was framed and did not know the bust contained a bomb. In her final statement in court, Trepova apologized to everyone affected by her actions.

Dmitry Kasintsev, the owner of the apartment where Trepova was found and arrested after Tatarsky’s death, was given 21 months in prison for concealing her crime.
