The grandfather of a nine-year-old girl killed in Gori back in October 2018 said the court has already delivered the verdict all of Georgia was waiting for, a life sentence.

The nine-year-old girl disappeared on October 25 2018 in Gori. Police found her dead after several hours.

Iago Nebieridze, 34, was arrested for the murder charges shortly. 

Khvicha Beriashvili stated the convict does not appear before the court as he wants to delay the case examination.

The deceased’s grandfather says the case has been completed.

Two or three court sessions are only left,” he added.

The case Judge Levan Darbaidze conducted the session without the convict today as he supposed Iago Nebieridze deliberately tries to avoid from attending the trial and says he is ill. 

The convict faces charges for premeditated murder in aggravating circumstance and sexual violence.
