The court in Zurich on Wednesday found Kaloyev guilty of premeditated killing in the death of an air traffic controller he said was responsible for a mid-air collision in which his family died. Kaloyev, who lost his wife and two children when a DHL cargo plane and a Russian passenger jet collided in Swiss-controlled airspace over southern Germany on July 1, 2002, has been sentenced to 8 years of penitentiary. He was charged with killing Peter Nielsen on February 24, 2004, the only air traffic controller on duty at the time. (KEYSTONE/Walter Bieri)
