Estonian hitman jailed by Special Criminal Court for six years

An Estonian hitman who was contracted by an international crime cartel and boasted to his associates in coded text messages that he would take out his target with "one shot to the head" has been jailed by the Special Criminal Court for six years.

Ex-wrestler and father-of-two Imre Arakas is a former Estonian separatist who the three-judge court heard had been "scarred and marked deeply" by imprisonment in Russia.
