"Ex-Convict Turned Fighter in Ukraine Goes on Rampage, Killing Six in Russia"

An ex-convict who fought for Putin in the war against Ukraine went on a rampage with an accomplice, killing six people in Russia. After being freed from prison as a reward for his war effort, the ex-convict set their homes on fire in an attempt to hide the massacre. The bodies of five men and one woman were found with stab and serious burn wounds in two separate houses in Karelia. The suspects, both with previous convictions for serious crimes, have been detained on suspicion of murder. Russians have expressed concern about former convict fighters being pardoned and allowed back into society.
