Verdict in Yegor Sviridov's murder case postponed

The announcement of the verdict in the case of the soccer fan Yegor Sviridov's high-profile killing last year in Moscow was postponed to October 20,  RIA Novosti reports. 

The verdict was expected on October 19, one day after the trial ended, Radio Free Europe's Russian Service previously reported.

Russian soccer fan Yegor Sviridov was shot dead on Moscow's Kronshtadt Boulevard on December 6, 2010, during clashes between fans of the Spartak Moscow football club and a group of men from the North Caucasus.

Six young men are charged with the killing. All pleaded not guilty. The defendants' lawyers say their clients had no intention of killing anyone but only wanted the fighting to end.
