The lawyer’s complaints did not help the former chief nephrologist of St. Petersburg, Alexander Zemchenkov, to get out of custody. As reported in the united press service of the city courts, the accused of the brutal murder of his wife did not express a desire to participate in the trial.
The lawyer asked the city court to overturn the October decision of the lower court, which had sent the medic to the pre-trial detention center. The lawyer suggested choosing a less serious measure of restraint: house arrest, personal surety or prohibition of certain actions. The prosecutor insisted on keeping Zemchenkov in custody, with which the court agreed.
“The appellate instance upheld the decision of the Oktyabrsky District Court of 10/27/2021, and the complaints were not satisfied,” the department said.
We will remind, the former chief nephrologist of St. Petersburg Alexander Zemchenkov is accused of the murder of his wife-doctor in 2010. According to investigators, the doctor dismembered his wife and hid the remains. The investigation, after a decade of lull, resumed at the end of 2020, when the father of the deceased came to an appointment with the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin.
