A juvenile defendant has been sentenced to 9.5 years in prison for two murders, two robberies, and rioting committed in the Uničov and Zábřeh regions. The crimes involved brutal attacks on older victims, including a 51-year-old man and a 75-year-old man.

While the sentence is near the maximum allowed for a minor, the defendant is currently being held at a reformatory in Boletice nad Labem rather than prison. This follows his release from custody prior to the verdict, which has triggered a legal dispute. The Regional Court in Ostrava claims the prosecutor failed to file a timely motion to extend custody, while Regional State Prosecutor Libor Malý maintains the release was lawful and is investigating the procedural handling of the case.
