The quarrel could have happened because of a girl
In the Tuapse district, local bandits beat to death two servicemen, presumably ex-fighters of the Wagner PMC. The third «musician» was severely crippled, but survived. All four suspects have already been detained and face life imprisonment.
The tragedy occurred on Sunday night in the village of Dederkoy, near the local river. Two companies of men did not share something between themselves.
According to media reports, this time there was no enmity on the basis of participation in the SVO, and the cause of the fight that turned into a beating could be an ordinary domestic conflict: there was a quarrel between the deceased “musician” and one of the killers, which turned into a massive, but unequal fight , in which the ex-fighters of «Wagner» were in the minority. In addition, the bandits used stones to beat.
The officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who arrived at the scene found two corpses — men aged 37 and 41 years. Their names have not yet been disclosed. One of the «musicians» was lucky and managed to escape. Photos of him from the hospital appeared on the Internet: the young man had his entire head bandaged. According to local residents, the criminals were merciless and chased him.
Already in the morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs published orientations for four suspects, who have now been detained. All of them are local residents: Karen Ustyan, Vartan Tulumdzhyan, Albert Ekzaryan, Artyom Turkmenyan.
From the social networks of the attackers, you can understand what kind of person they are. All of them are strong athletes who know how to stand up for themselves. 26-year-old Albert Exaryan, for example, is a large man. He periodically visited the gym, practiced martial arts and was very fond of showing off his muscles in photographs.
Karen Ustyan, a 19-year-old native of the Tuapse district, does not lag behind him. It is known that the young man was fond of football. On his page «Vkontakte» — photos from the stadium in a football uniform, as well as with many friends and brothers. In subscriptions — public «Only street fights.» Information appeared on the network that it was Ustyan who could have been the instigator of the fight, then called his friends for help.
The oldest and most «criminal» in the company is 36-year-old Vartan Tulumjyan. He was repeatedly convicted: in 2014 — for causing moderate harm to health, and in 2017 — under the «narcotic» article 228, but due to extenuating circumstances — the presence of minor children at that time — the court sentenced him to correctional labor. The very first sentence was conditionally imposed, so Vartan Tulumdzhyan was not in prison.
Another participant in the murder, Artyom Turkmenyan, was also tried in 2021, but under the administrative article 14.1 — about illegal business activities. On the beach, in the very village of Dederkoy, Turkmenyan provided catamaran rental services as an individual entrepreneur, without being registered with the tax authority, for which he was punished, although he did not appear at the court session. On his Vkontakte page, among his hobbies are martial arts,
“I know these guys personally,” a resident of Dederkoy told MK on condition of anonymity, “I can’t say anything good about them, they are aggressive, quick-tempered, they can attack without problems if something goes wrong. One guy from the orientation was even called to the NVO zone, the farewell passed, everyone wished good luck and a speedy return.
But he didn’t get to the front, he was returned home.
— A friend said that, according to rumors, everything happened because of a girl. Two guys were deliberately finished off, and the third one, who ran away, was also chased. A creepy and bloody story.
However, there are conflicting reviews about the dead «musicians». Someone believes that they could be engaged in racketeering and crime, as well as abuse illegal substances, and what happened is the usual criminal showdown for spheres of influence, as in the 90s.
— They say people were far from being saints.
People also have questions about the work of local law enforcement officers. “They go to small complaints, write protocols, but when people are beaten, you can’t get through,” complains a local resident Lyudmila, “sometimes they are directly rude in response that they supposedly interfere with their sleep. Believe me, there is experience. I live in the center, there are a lot of staggering drunk people, sometimes with a scuffle.
