The Court of Appeal, whose intercession was requested by the mother of Vytautas Aurimas Narbutas, mother of Vytautas Aurimas Narbutas, who was recognized as a dangerous repeat offender and sent behind bars for murder near the Žalgiris Arena, announced its verdict against the Kaunas on Thursday. District Court.

The crucial role of the spouse

Almost a year and a half ago, immediately after this heinous crime, VANarbutas, who was in his late thirties and returned to the barracks, for whom this was his sixth confrontation with Temide, admitted that he had killed his wife Raimondas I. during the pre-trial investigation . And when he appeared in court, he no longer denied having sex with the victim before taking his own life. However, he continued to repeat that he had been violent against his wife’s friend, and then threw her into the Nemunas after she spoke disrespectfully about his wife.

The latter, who helped law enforcement uncover the crime, managed to be summoned to testify in court only after an order was issued to take her away by force. Like his mother, while visiting Kaunas, his son-in-law committed this crime. After him, VANarbut’s wife, who introduced the spouse to her victim victim, initiated the divorce proceedings.

VANarbut’s mother-in-law told the court that on the night of October 17, 2019, her daughter had returned home alone in Vilijampolė of the city, although she had gone to her with her husband. And crying. The son-in-law appeared only after midnight.

VANarbut’s wife, who wrote an SMS to the girlfriend who remained with him until her husband’s return and called, although the calls were rejected, placed accents elsewhere. He said he immediately noticed the returning spouse’s dirty and wet pants and shoes themselves. She claimed to have been pushed into the water by her girlfriend, with whom her own husband had left him that night. He said only in the morning that he had hit Raimondas I. “on the head.” And then he removed his wife’s SIM cards and their cell phones and burned them. Later, the day before, the phone bought from Raimonda I. for 8 euros broke. And only then did he admit that, after beating him, he drowned in the Nemunas, threatening that if his wife told anyone, both she and their daughter would be killed.

However, VANarbut’s wife chose not to remain silent, although officials were warned that, as the suspect’s wife, she may not testify against him.

The riddle is solved daily

Raimonda I.’s body was discovered by a Kaunas resident living on a nearby island of Nemunas. Initially, he saw human clothing on the shore of the “Žalgiris” sand. And when he approached, already in the water, among the grass, and the body of a young woman half dressed.

The personality of the deceased was determined according to her documents found here. After finding out that it is 34-year-old Raimonda I. from Šiauliai, video recordings were taken from nearby cameras.

The suspect was revealed after tracking the deceased to a bar near the Kaunas train station. Raimonda I. visited him regularly. Witnesses were also found who saw her in this bar with a woman and a man of similar age.

It soon became clear that it was the spouses from the village of Bugailiškės, Kupiškis district, who had come to visit their grandmother, who was not another year old, with their grandmother living in Kaunas. Law enforcement officers appeared at this house in Vilijampolė just one day after the horrific find. And VANarbut, who was on her daughter’s parental leave at the time, immediately admitted what she had done.

He did not deny that he met the killer, looking where to buy a cell phone. And his wife’s friend, Raimonda I, wanted to sell one of hers. The deal took place at the aforementioned bar, where beer was drunk. It all ended in a conflict: VANarbut’s wife did not like the fact that her husband wanted her friend to participate in the extension of the party, and she obviously liked it. Finally, the jealous blind wife took a taxi and VA Narbut stayed with her future victim.

Killer version

According to VANarbutas, the conflict on Nemunas Island was not far from the Žalgiris Arena, where at that time the Euroleague matches were played, and they continued to drink beer with Raimonda I., as the latter provoked them to undress. But he said he’s loyal to his wife. And this greatly enraged Raimondas I., as a result of which she began to humiliate his wife in every way. And he himself, covered in rage, was thrown into the water. And that already filled his cup of patience, which made him run his fists to work.

After the first blow fell, the victim prevented him from lying. Until he finally saw that she was no longer reacting to the environment. And very scared, he decided to dispose of the victim’s body by dragging it into the water.

According to forensic experts, after the VANarbut violence, Raimonda I. would have survived many for a maximum of four hours without ever being thrown into the water because she had a serious health problem. Due to this condition, thrown still alive into the water, she got drunk. In addition, signs of strangulation were found on the neck of the murdered person.

VANarbut, previously convicted of theft and robbery (for the first time as a minor), was released just a year before that fateful night. The mother of the murdered asked to be sentenced to 50 thousand. EUR moral consideration.

Only half a year after VANarbut’s release, the Kupiškis district police, where he resided, although he came from the Kaišiadorys district, launched another pre-trial investigation against him. In the present case, allegations of theft were also made against his wife, who, according to a pre-trial investigation, had helped VANarbut to catch the victim.

Covered with the willingness to pay damages

The prosecutor Virginijus Mizaras offered VANarbuta imprisoned, who was sentenced to seven to fifteen years in prison for the murder of Raimondas I.

The attorney appointed by the State who defended Vanarbut requested a reduction of the sentence proposed by the prosecutor, taking into account another circumstance that mitigates the responsibility of the accused. It was caused by the victim herself.

VANarbutas himself asked the court for a lesser punishment. Only his motive was different: being behind bars, where he earns only 40-50 euros a month with a tailor job, it will be difficult for him to reimburse the lawsuit against the victim’s mother.

Kaunas District Judge Aušra Vingilė, who examined VANarbut’s case, recognized him as a dangerous repeat offender in October last year and sent him behind bars for twelve years. This isolation of VA Narbut from society, which is higher than the average of the threatened punishment, according to the judgment of Judge A. Vingilė, was chosen taking into account his personality. However, the murdered mother’s claim for moral compensation was cut in half to 25,000. although her daughter’s funeral expenses, which amounted to 450 euros, she was ordered to pay in full.

Only the victim appealed the verdict

VANarbutas himself did not appeal the Kaunas Regional Court ruling. Only the mother of the murdered woman complained, who saw her daughter for the last time, who went to visit her in Šiauliai, two days before the tragedy.

Raimonda I.’s mother, who was ill at a respectable age, told VANarbut in court with tears in her eyes that she could not believe the tragic fate of her loneliness, which was the only pillar of her life. And every now and then he’s still waiting to meet her, on the bus, where she came from from Kaunas.

The mother of the murdered petitioned the Court of Appeal to change the sentence of the Kaunas Regional Court to VA Narbutas, revoking the confession recognized as a mitigating circumstance and alleged sincere repentance. And to impose a more severe punishment on the daughter’s murderer, as a dangerous repeat offender. And to order all the 50 thousand requested. euro, and not just half, as the Kaunas Regional Court did.

The Appeal Court panel of judges Linas Šiukšta, Albinas Bielskis and Alenas Piesliakas, who examined the murder mother’s complaint, announced on Thursday that a colleague from the District Court had imposed a fair sentence on VANarbutas. And the grandparents rejected the complaint.

With this decision of the Court of Appeal, VANarbut’s verdict became final. However, for the State attorney appointed to do so, during the examination of the complaint of the mother of his victim, VANarbut also received 180 euros for said service.
