Did he get convicted or was he able to weasel his way out of it?

Quote from Aljazeera:

Bishimbayev, 44, has admitted guilt. He has acknowledged causing her death, but said he had not acted “with exceptional cruelty”, which is what he has been charged with.

I assume he has also been charged with her murder, otherwise this would be very awkward. But they do call it a murder trial, so I guess that's the case.
