Belarus executes Homel gangsters
Syarhey Marozau, Valery Harbaty and Ihar Danchanka were executed under the ruling of the Supreme Court of Belarus.
They were convicted in late 2006. The gang operated in the Homel region since 1990s. It is responsible for 19 murders, hostage-taking and other crimes.
It is reported that Marozay was trying to delay the death penalty by recalling new criminal episodes. He also promised to reveal the names of high-ranking officials who covered the band.
Possibly, Marozau hoped that Belarus declares moratorium on death penalty, notes Belapan.
