The Higher Court in Koper overturned a decision by the Novo Mesto District Court that had sentenced David Štrukelj to nine years in prison for the killing of a man. The court annulled the conviction portion of the ruling but upheld the part that granted him parole for causing serious bodily harm. Štrukelj has already begun serving his nine-year prison sentence at the Dobu prison. The court’s decision came after a session last week, and the case was re-opened due to the two-year period elapsed since the indictment was filed.
