On Monday, the Tallinn-based Harju County Court handed a long jail sentence to Isa Khalilov who caused an accident that killed two people and injured several others on Laagna tee on June 20 last year.
The court handed 20-year-old Khalilov a 10-year prison sentence and his fellow accused, 29-year-old Vjatseslav Kalasnikov, a three-year prison sentence.
North District Prosecutor Diana Helila said in late April said that the guilt of Khalilov and Kalasnikov in causing a road accident with grave consequences has been proven and that they should each be handed a 12-year prison sentence.
The prosecutor also requested that Kalasnikov be deprived of his driver s license for three years. Khalilov cannot be deprived of his license as he has never been issued one.

An investigation into the assault, which took place last Wednesday evening as the doctor, Peep Talving, sat in his vehicle outside his workplace at the North Estonian Medical Center (PERH), has led to the principals suspect s detention by the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA).
North District Prosecutor Diana Helila told ETV news show Aktuaalne kaamera (AK) that the suspect, named in the media as Toomas Erm Wilson, has admitted to carrying out the attack and is cooperating with the PPA and prosecutor s office with a view to obtaining a sentence via plea deal.
