Russian jailed for killing air traffic controller
A Swiss court today sentenced a Russian architect to eight years in prison for the premeditated homicide of an air traffic controller who was on duty at the time of a mid-air plane collision in which the Russian man’s wife and children were killed.
The Zurich Superior Court found Vitaly Kaloyev guilty of premeditated homicide, which is a lesser charge than murder and carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison under Swiss law.
