According to a report in the Baltic Independent newspaper, Vladimir Botchko was sentenced to death at Harju county court on 16 December 1992, convicted of the rape and murder of a child. The Supreme Court has apparently upheld the death sentence. Vladimir Botchko has now petitioned the President for clemency, the final stage of the judicial process for capital offences.
