In the colony, the oldest prisoner in Russia did not die of natural causes, he was 84 years old

The oldest prisoner of Russia, Alexander Aniskin, who was 84 years old, died in a colony in the Altai Territory, the Shot telegram channel reported.

According to him, doctors recorded a closed craniocerebral injury, brain contusion, brain edema, as well as a severe hematoma in Aniskin. According to one version, the 84-year-old prisoner could have been the victim of an attack by other convicts of the colony.

Alexander Aniskin was sentenced to eight years in 2020 for stabbing his acquaintance in the corridor of an apartment building, with whom he had had a big quarrel before. The incident occurred in July 2019 in the city of Biysk. According to Aniskin, on the evening of July 25, he was having dinner at home when a friend "barged" into his apartment and immediately started beating the pensioner. The old one (that's what his neighbors called him) claims that his joint was knocked out and he suffered a concussion. At that moment, he was holding a knife in his hands, which, according to him, accidentally touched the deceased. Aniskin's abuser died a few hours later in the hospital, where his relatives urgently brought him. Doctors recorded stab wounds in his ribs, chest, lung and other organs. In total — about 10 stab wounds. The deceased lost about two liters of blood.

The pensioner himself then did not admit his guilt and did not apologize to the relatives of the deceased. In 2022, the court ordered Aniskin to pay 420 thousand rubles of moral compensation to the brother of the murdered man.
