Detainees over Vertskhli street murder released from courtroom

The five detainees over 19 February murder on Vertskhli street have been released from the courtroom without being sentenced. 

The defendants have been held in pretrial detention so far. Reportedly, in the course of the case, it became clear that they had been falsely accused. 

According to the defendants' lawyer Giorgi Pantsulaia, in all likelihood, the detainees will be declared not guilty since they had been falsely accused. "As regards the sixth individual who is at large now, his case will be discussed separately," the lawyer said. 

Zviad Japaridze, 50, was murdered on Verstkli street on Feb 19. A conflict preceded the murder. Shortly after the crime was perpetrated, Lasha Sikharulidze, his uncle and three friends were apprehended. A 40-year-old man who presumably shot late Japaridze has been at large thus far.
