MOSCOW, November 24. /TASS/. Moscow’s Khoroshevsky District Court has released citizen of Uzbekistan, Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, who killed a four-year-old girl in Moscow from criminal prosecution and ruled that she should be sent for compulsory treatment, a TASS correspondent reports from the court room.

"The court ruled to release Bobokulova from criminal prosecution and subject her to compulsory medical measures," the judge said.
