Five culprits tried in the case of the murder committed in Vulcănești, Nisporeni, were convicted. Four of them got by two years, while the one who fired at the victim was sentenced to 12 years in jail, IPN reports.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases, the convicted are aged between 21 and 38 and are from the same villages as the murdered man.

The crime was committed in May 2019 following a conflict between the victim and two of the culprits, who insulted him near a local shop. An older conflict existed between those families. Later, five men went by a car to the man’s home and fired at him in the presence of his wife and his 12-year-old daughter. The man who got 12 years fired five shots at the victim from a legally held gun. The victim died on the way to the hospital.

The killed man was 37 and had four children, the youngest one being one year and a half.

The sentence passed by the Ungheni Town Court on March 20 can be challenged in a higher court.
