I. Molotkovas has been found guilty of causing the death of an Indian national during an attempted robbery in Vilnius.
In a case that has drawn public attention, I. Molotkovas was found guilty for his role in the death of an Indian citizen during an attempted robbery at a bus station in Vilnius. According to reports, Molotkovas tried to deceive the victim into believing he could assist with bus travel, but when the victim demanded a refund, an altercation ensued. During the struggle, Molotkovas took the victim's belongings and fled, leading to severe consequences.
The victim, who was involved in a physical confrontation with Molotkovas, suffered significant stress which triggered heart arrhythmia, ultimately resulting in his death due to heart complications. In court, Molotkovas acknowledged his accountability, expressing remorse and promising to compensate for the damages sought in a forthcoming lawsuit. The case highlights serious issues surrounding violent crime and the legal ramifications of reckless actions causing death.
Under Lithuanian law, specifically Article 132 of the Penal Code concerning 'negligent homicide,' the maximum penalty for such actions can lead to imprisonment for up to four years. The presiding judge, Kristina Grinevičiūtė-Gelgotė, delivered a judgment recognizing Molotkovas's culpability, raising important conversations about justice and accountability in instances of lethal encounters stemming from criminal activities.
