A court in St Petersburg has jailed a prominent Russian historian - after he was found guilty of murdering and dismembering his young lover. Oleg Sokolov was sentenced to twelve-and-a-half years for the killing of Anastasia Yeshchenko. He was found drunk in a river in November last year - with her severed arms in his backpack. The BBC's Tim Allman reports.
