One of Russia ’s richest politicians has avoided jail after shooting dead a constituent who he allegedly “mistook for a bear”.
Pro-Putin regional MP and fish tycoon Igor Redkin, 56, shot married father-of-one Andrey Tolstopyatov, 30, who died soon after identifying Redkin as the shooter.
Redkin has insisted to officers that he had aimed at a brown bear scavenging at a rubbish dump.
