The jury of a military court in Moscow has ruled after a trial that has lasted two days.

Members of the jury have not anticipated lowering the sentence for those guilty of murder.
The five defendants -- Zaur Dadayev, Ansor Gubashev, Shagit Gubashev, Khamzat Bakhayev, and Tamerlain Eskerkhanov -- are from Chechnya, and all have been convicted of committing a pay murder.
The sixth person, former Chechen Army member Ruslan Mukhudinov, has been sentenced in absentia to organise crime.
Five defendants have declared themselves innocent. Judgment in this case began in October 2016.
