Budanov, murderer of Chechen girl, pardoned

[Zhukov]

I lost the link. I'll get it agian if you really want me too. It's from BBC world news.

The reason for his proposed release is good behavior in jail, like participating in sports events.

Apparently the governor of the region liked him, he supported Budanov in the past.

It still has to be finalised by Putin, though.
