Tsapok's lawyer insists on new psychiatric examination of his client
The defence of Sergey Tsapok, the alleged leader of the gang that committed the massacre in the village of Kuschevskaya, Krasnodar Territory, intends to seek for a repeated psychological-psychiatric examination of the defendant, said Igor Skripka, Tsapok's advocate.
The lawyer has reminded that earlier the court had recognized Tsapok's behaviour to be adequate, rejected the defence's motion to exclude the results of the previous psychological-psychiatric examination and found the motion to be premature at the session on the case held on Thursday, November 13, the "Interfax" reports.
"I don't know how adequate is that my client had cut his veins," Mr Skripka has commented on the court's decision.
Meanwhile, the doctors who had conducted the psychological-psychiatric examination of Tsapok caught him while simulating symptoms of mental disorders, the "Life News" writes.
