As an object of his crime he chose the Head of the Suzdal town administration, whom he had considered as a rich man and assumed that he could get a lot of money from him. The accused planned to abduct the official, demand a ransom and then to kill him to conceal the crime.

Following the request of the investigators, a court has ruled to remand the accused in custody pending trial.
During an interrogation the accused admitted his guilt and explained that after the crime he had intended to go abroad.
At present, a number of operations are underway to find out all the details of the crime and in the near future the man is going to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
The investigation is ongoing with operative support of the regional office of the Federal Security Service and the Crime Detection Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry.
