Pensioner gets 17 years for killing of barwoman

An old-aged pensioner has received a 17-year jail term for the brutal murder of a young Vietnamese barwoman. A court in Plzeň heard how the man, who is 63, shot the woman dead at a gaming bar in Františkovy Lázně in March this year when she demanded payment for drinks and then pressed an emergency alarm. Judges described the killing as an execution, and also ordered the perpetrator to undergo treatment for alcoholism.
