Omsks shocking court case: Wagner ex‑member murders pregnant partner

According to the portal "The Insider," the District Court in Omsk in central Russia is handling the case of Sergey Kozlov, a 36-year-old former Wagner member, who in a horrendous way murdered his 18-year-old partner. The woman was pregnant.

The incident occurred in October of last year. According to current findings, Kozlov was at a party with his partner, who is half his age. At some point, a fight broke out between them. The man claimed that the 18-year-old had destroyed his speaker.

Kozlov was so enraged that he attacked his concubine. He beat her and jumped on her stomach even though she was pregnant with his child. He shouted that she was not worthy of being the mother of his child. He then crushed her throat with his boot, standing on her neck.

The victim was found to have a traumatic brain injury, a broken nose, a brain contusion, a ruptured liver, and blunt abdominal trauma. The description of all 138 injuries took up several pages - reports the Russian Kommersant.

This is not the first time Kozlov has had serious legal problems. Before he joined the Wagner Group, he was repeatedly punished for theft, grievous bodily harm, and robbery. He was recruited like other such riffraffs - in prison.

In 2023, Sergey Kozlov received a medal for bravery. The honor was bestowed upon him for his participation in the war in Ukraine. In the summer of last year, the 36-year-old returned to Omsk. A few months later, he committed this shocking crime. According to Russian media, his court sentence will be announced on September 9 at 2 PM Eastern Time.

This is another shocking story that illustrates how Putin's demoralized soldiers behave when they return from the front lines back to the country. Despite committing such crimes, they are honored as heroes.
