The six were minors when they killed the teens in late June 2008, prosecutors said, adding that the bodies were desecrated and their possessions robbed before being buried in the forest.

The bodies were discovered in August 2008.

All six were found guilty of murder and four members of the group were found guilty of desecrating the victims’ bodies. The longest sentence of 20 years was given to the group’s alleged leader, a 20-year-old man named Nikolai Ogolobnyak.

Investigators said the group was formed in 2006 and began with sacrificing dogs and cats.

The prosecutor in the case said the crimes were “inhumane” and “revolting.”
