Russian colonel gets 10 years for Chechen murder

A Russian colonel was jailed for 10 years today for kidnapping and murdering a Chechen woman.

Yuri Budanov had admitted strangling Heda Kungayeva, 18, but said he did it in a fit of rage during an interrogation. In December, a court ruled that Budanov was temporarily insane at the time of the killing and was not criminally responsible.
