"Wave of murder, rape and domestic violence": Russian women living in fear as Wagner’s convicted murderers return home as free men

🤖 I'm a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles: ::: spoiler Click here to see the summary The vast majority ended up fighting for Wagner group, the private army run by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who in June went rogue and launched an armed mutiny that sent shock waves through the Russian political system before it was aborted.

As part of the deal, convicts were told that if they fought for six months and survived, they would be allowed to go back to normal life without serving the rest of their sentences.

It is not clear whether Kanyus is still fighting, but it certainly appears he is still alive, as he has posted regular updates to an account on VKontakte, a Russian social media network.

Samoilov’s mother told 29.ru, a local news site in Russia’s Arkhangelsk region, that her son had fought and been injured in Ukraine, and had now been pardoned.

“He was sent there, served for six months and in accordance with the law has now been released early,” the head of the North Ossetia region, Sergei Menyailo, confirmed in a press conference earlier this year, adding that in Tekhov’s place, he would not have returned home.

The family’s refusal to stay quiet meant the case resonated with the public, and the police who failed to show up to the repeated calls for help from the neighbours were even tried for negligence.

So, any concerns about the murders and rapes they do in Ukraine at all?
- Not that they mentioned, no
- They didn’t deem it necessary to mention, no
Weird thumbnail vs headline. She looks like I just asked her if she wants to hit this joint and she does, which doesn't go at the top of a story about atrocity.
- It's not a compo face article. That was pulled from her social media as she was murdered.
- Was thinking the same thing. She seems a bit too pleased about the rapes and murders.
  
  Uhhhh, she's dead...
