A judge handed out a sentence of life in prison on Monday to Russia’s ”chessboard murderer”, who was convicted last week of killing 48 people. The sentence was read out by the judge as Alexander Pichushkin, a 33-year-old former supermarket worker, looked at the ground, a reporter in court said. Asked if he understood, Pichushkin replied: ”I’m not deaf. I understood.”
