This is the best summary I could come up with:

A prisoner believed to have been released early to fight with Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine has been accused of committing a double murder in Russia after returning home from the war.

The BBC has been told that Kevorkyan was later spotted back in his home village of Pridorozhnaya in Krasnodar, south-west Russia telling people he had just returned from the battlefields of Ukraine.

Hundreds of people helped search remote countryside and Tatyana's mother began a six-hour journey to the area, catching a plane and train from her small village in Siberia, in eastern Russia.

A video of Prigozhin at a Russian jail shows him telling rows of prisoners lined up in identical black fur hats that he prefers convicts who have murdered more than once and offenders who have beaten up a state official or policeman.

The BBC has confirmed that suspects in about 20 serious offences, including rape and murder, are Wagner fighters recruited in prison and released early to serve in Ukraine.

The most she feels she can do is support a petition that's already gained tens of thousands of signatures to demand Kevorkyan - the chief suspect of her daughter's murder - gets a life sentence, if convicted.

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

no shit

What a surprise. Said no-one.

Seriously through, this is the result of Putin's lack of backbone in declaring this an actual war, which would both allow him to recruit conscripts and reservists, and cause quite a bit of international and domestic push back. The only (currently preferred) alternative appears to be to just roll the dice on giving convicted killers weapons and hoping for the best.

This entire operation has made a joke of the Russian military.
