The murder was solved five years later
Fraud over renting an apartment became the reason for the brutal murder of a man in northwest Moscow in 2019. The crime was solved by investigators from the Moscow Investigative Committee.
As MK learned, in March In 2019, a pensioner was beaten to death on Marshal Katukov Street. His identity could not be established. The suspects turned out to be three citizens of one of the Central Asian countries, but soon after the massacre they were transferred to their homeland, so it was not possible to immediately detain them. Recently, the Asians returned to Russia, and during the investigation, one of them was detained. The citizen of Uzbekistan explained that an elderly man, whom they met by chance, offered to rent them an apartment for 25 thousand rubles a month. He asked for an advance payment, and the foreigners gave him the money. However, when the «well-wisher» took them to the house where the apartment was located, it turned out that he could not get into the entrance, since he did not know the intercom number. Enraged at the man, the migrants beat him to death.
According to Vladislav Shilnov, investigator of the Khoroshevsky Investigative Department of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Moscow, the investigation intends to petition the court to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention for the suspect. The search for accomplices continues.
