Jon, thanks for bringing this to our attention.  Just read it.

Quite a heart breaking story.

Here in USA they would probably be assigned counseling rather than being charged.

First time reading the story. Seems like an unfair justice system in place. Another unfair story below.

Frankly,

I was impressed that there was an outcry from the public.

A sad situation for all involved.

Russia will charge three teenage girls who killed their abusive father with premeditated murder, the country’s Investigative Committee said Tuesday.

The decision follows a 16-month investigation and the three young women now face up to 20 years in jail.

Krestina, Angelina and Maria Khachaturyan killed their father Mikhail Khachaturyan in July 2018 after he subjected them to years of physical, mental and sexual abuse. Their high-profile case has sharply divided Russian society between those who say they were acting in self-defense and others who see them as murderers.
