The killer of a girl from North Ossetia was pardoned by the President of the Russian Federation after participating in the war with Ukraine

In April, an ex-policeman from North Ossetia, Vadim Tekhov, who killed his ex-wife, was pardoned by presidential decree as having served in Ukraine for six months in the Storm Z unit. This explains the fact that the relatives of the victims saw him walking freely on the streets of Vladikavkaz.

According to media reports, in the NVO zone, the command saw in Tekhov an executive fighter who performed assigned tasks and received departmental awards. He was also nominated for state awards, the decision on the appointment of which will be made in Moscow.

Recall that in 2019 Tekhov was sentenced to 16 years for the murder of his ex-wife. However, in the fall of 2022, the killer was released to participate in the war against Ukraine. In November, it was reported that he was detained for drug distribution in the Donbass. However, now he has returned to his native Vladikavkaz.
