A 41-year-old Russian national was booked for murder in Goa Tuesday, after a local he had assaulted last week succumbed to injuries.
Speaking to IANS, Superintendent of Police (North District) Bosco George said Constantine Alexander Borowski was in police custody for an assault last Thursday (Feb 11), and he would now be booked under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
"Constantine was earlier arrested for grievous assault along with the locals, who were also booked for being part of the scuffle. With one of the persons, Rohidas Shetgaonkar, succumbing to injuries, a murder case has now been booked against the Russian," George said.
