Alibek Botashev, Press Secretary of the Supreme Court of the Karachay-Cherkessian Republic (KChR) has stated that "the pre-trial restriction measure was pronounced in the form of home arrest because of the fact that, in addition to the severity of the alleged crime, in fact, the suspect came to the police himself and admitted his guilt," the "Interfax" reports.
