A Moscow court sentenced an Afghan national Monday for the murder and robbery of two gay men he met over the Internet.
Umar Turyalai received 22 years in a maximum-security prison for the crimes he committed last November, according to Moscow city court spokeswoman Anna Usachyova, as reported by the Moscow Times.
Turyalai met the men after they responded to an Internet ad he published, which offered paid sexual services to men, according to the Times.
