Killer who used meatgrinder to dispose of body of strangled lover is FREED by Putin… because he fought in Ukraine

A KILLER who used a meat-grinder to dispose his lover’s body has been pardoned and released from jail by Vladimir Putin – because he fought in Ukraine. Sadistic Dmitry Zelensky, 41, has been pardoned for the strangling and cruel dismemberment of his former lover, 27-year-old Tatiana Melekhina.

Under the agreement, hardened criminals must fight for six months in Ukraine – then are pardoned and permitted to return to normal life. Upon the discovery of Tatiana’s murder, a law enforcement source said the “exceptional cruelty” of the murder had “shocked even hardened detectives”. The source said: “He did not just dismember her body, he separated the meat and bones, and made mincemeat. “Then he washed this mincemeat down the toilet into the sewage system. He threw the bones into the river.” Tatiana’s surviving family was outraged after not being notified that her killer had been released after his service. Her sister Oksana said: “At his trial, it was declared that we would be notified of where he was, and his movements. “We were never told anything. My father has written to ask for details, but no-one answers us.” Dmitry’s mother, Galina, said: “My son went to the war for many reasons – he wanted to atone for what he had done.” Russia has already seen an increase in violent crime since Putin’s freedom for fighting scheme began, and worries are increasing as more and more fighters return from their time in Ukraine. In August, a prisoner-turned-Wagner soldier who was freed after serving in Ukraine went on a killer rampage. Igor Sofonov stabbed six people and set two homes on fire after returning home from the frontlines. Inside one home, residents Konstantin Lonin, 42, his brother Dmitry, 47, and Vladimir Sergeenko, 76, were all reportedly stabbed to death. A woman named Svetlana, 38, was also killed, and the bodies of Vladimir Tereshchenko, 70, and his son Artyom, 39, were found.
