On September 22, the Supreme Court suspended the execution of the sentence for Irena Stejskalová and Magdalena Šifferová, who had been finally convicted of murdering the leader of the so-called Kutná Hora cult. Both women will thus remain at liberty for the time being, until the court rules on their appeals. denik.cz ↗
The suspension concerns sentences of nine and twelve years. The Supreme Court's decision does not mean the final verdict is overturned, nor does it mean the case is definitively closed. The court will now review the extraordinary appeals filed by the convicted women. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The case concerns the death of the group's leader from the Kutná Hora region. Both women were convicted in the case of his murder, and their sentences were final. However, following the Supreme Court's decision, they do not have to return to serve their sentences until the appeals are resolved. irozhlas.cz ↗
According to available information, Magdalena Šifferová is already at liberty. The suspension of the sentence was also reported by attorney Jaroslav Fenyk, who confirmed the court's decision. A more detailed justification for the decision, as well as the date on which the Supreme Court will make a final ruling on the appeals, have not yet been given. info.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on the assessment of the appeals. The Supreme Court may uphold the final verdicts, or it may decide to change them or send the case back for a new trial.
