After the beating, which took place in front of the child, and the nomination of the accused on the grave charge of attempted murder, Kukushkin was not sent to the pre-trial detention center. A curfew was imposed on him as a preventive measure.

Later, the article was reclassified as intentional harm to health of medium severity. The article provides for up to five years in the colony. As part of the sentence, the former policeman will not be allowed to leave his home from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., leave Chita without permission, and change his place of residence without notifying the inspectorate, in which he will have to report once a month.

The former policeman also did not pay compensation for the treatment of a fractured eye socket, the residents of the house collected money for Selina’s treatment and lawyer. “My character is boring and meticulous. I tried to suggest where it would be better to clean. He took it as an insult. But I wanted it better,” the accused said in court. According to him, he beat the janitor because he “thought that he would hit him first.”

Selin said that the policeman beat him because he “treated the janitors and cleaners as a lower class of people.”
