A Russian doctor accused of fatally beating a patient at a hospital in the western Russian city of Belgorod was charged with third-degree murder, a federal investigator in Moscow said on January 12.
The doctor, 32-year-old Ilya Zelendinov, faces 15 years in prison for punching the 55-year-old patient who a nurse complained had kicked her, according to Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin.
