On 4th December 2015 the Supreme Court of the DPR sentenced to death penalty Anatoliy Yakubenko, sign call Valuy.
Anatoliy Yakubenko 1987 year of birth was named in a case of double murder of citizens of Donetsk who were women of 1990 and 1992 year of birth.
When the criminal committed the crime, he was hiding until he was caught in April 2015. The investigation was more than 7 months, all the facts proved the blame of the person on trial, all the evidences were observed, it was revealed in time of the investigation that Yakubenko was involved in the range of other crimes.
Yakubenko confessed his blame partially, and his lawyer asked for two years of conditional sentence, having pointed out that the criminal entered ranges of the militia, that he started protecting motherland, exactly Cossack regiment and that he has small child. The court looked into this matter for a long time and it sentenced him to the supreme penalty.
Be reminded that the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Aleksandr Zaharchenko ordered in 2014 to implement death penalty in military times for such crimes.
Unfortunately, not all people took weapon with a sense of duty and patriotism to the motherland. In order to prevent possible similar crimes, court of the DPR sentenced to the death penalty, and it would improve reputation of the Cossack regiment and DPR Army in general, these crimes are on conscience of this criminal.
Our condolences to relatives of perished people by hands of this criminal…..
In loving memory…..

I urge clemency for Anatoliy Yakubenko, whatever crimes he may have committed. Justice always needs to be tempered with mercy. It would behoove in particular the relatives of Yakubenko’s victims to overcome their grief and anger and find the strength of heart to request a commutation of his sentence by the president of the DPR, who has the authority to do accede to their wishes. At this time of the year, when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, let us remember the values he bequeathed to us, among the foremost being mercy and forgiveness.

It is fair when the criminal has the same punishment as he/she committed in attitude to other people, and he killed even more than one person. So why court should be mercy?

I agree with the sentence. He took life he must give life!
