Ex-Officer convicted of killing Ukrainian journalist
World
A Kiev court convicted a former top police officer of the 2000 murder of muckraking journalist Georgiy Gongadze, but the ruling left open the question of who ordered the most high-profile killing in post-Soviet Ukraine.
A judge Tuesday sentenced Oleksiy Pukach, a former police general, to life in jail for the gruesome murder of Mr. Gongadze, the founder of the popular news website Ukrainska Pravda, or Ukrainian Truth, in September 2000. Mr. Gongadze's headless body was found buried in a forest outside Kiev two months after the murder.
