Постановление Европейского суда по правам человека от 08.04.2010 «Дело Сериевы (Seriyevy) против России» [англ.]

mination of Bilkis Askhabayeva's body.
9. At some point between January 2003 and November 2004 the investigation of the criminal case was transferred to the military prosecutor's office of military unit No. 20116 (the military prosecutor's office), where the case file was given number 34/35/0191-03.
10. On 25 November 2004 the military prosecutor's office terminated the proceedings in the criminal case. The decision stated that the investigation had established that on 26 December 2002 military unit No. 23132 had participated in a special operation against illegal armed groups. At about 8 p.m. an illuminating shell launched by a cannon 2C3 No. 221 from the position of the military unit, due to a technical malfunction, had hit the house at 41 Kirova Street in Belgatoy, Chechnya. The death of Bilkis Askhabayeva was a result of an accident and therefore no personal responsibility could be established for it. The decision further stated that the criminal investigation in case No. 34/35/0191-03 should be terminated for lack of corpus delicti in the actions of the military servicemen.
11. On 7 December 2004 the military prosecutor's office informed the first applicant about the decision to terminate the criminal proceedings. The applicants did not appeal this decision.
12. On 13 June 2005 the military prosecutor's office took another decision to terminate the proceedings in the criminal case on the grounds of lack of corpus delicti and the amnesty act applied to the military officers. The applicants did not appeal this decision either.
