Peter Nielsen murderer to be retried

http://en.rian.ru/russia/20061125/55989543.html

NZZ reports that a Swiss court has decided that a Russian man found guilty of murdering an air traffic controller in an act of revenge for the 2002 Bashkirian/DHL midair should have a new trial. Seems eight years in prison for a premeditated revenge killing is too lengthy a sentence in Switzerland.

Has time tainted my memory of this, or did this guy not hunt down Mr. Nielsen and brutally kill him in front of his family? In my opinion, eight years seems like a nice start, but still a few decades short of a complete sentence.
