The General Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee has completed investigation into the criminal case against Aleksei Serenko accused of committing a series of murders and robberies in the Rostov Region, including the murder of employee of the Chief Internal Affairs Office in Nizhny Novgorod Region Dmitry Chudakov and members of his family: his wife and two young children.
The involvement of A. Serenko to the crimes is confirmed by the evidence collected, including findings of ballistic forensic examinations that Serenko used his carbine “Sayga” to kill those people.
Currently, investigation into the criminal case is completed, the defendant and his lawyers are reading the files of the case.
It should also be noted that in November 2010, media reported involvement in the murder of the Chudakovs family of a criminal group, headed by S. Tsapok, prosecuted in connection with the mass murder in the village Kushchevskaya of Krasnodar Territory. In this regard, the investigation considers it necessary to declare that such reports are the personal opinions of members of some broadcast companies and publications and are not based on facts.
During the investigation, even at the initial stage, a version of the possibility of the Chudakovs’ murder motivated by conflicts during the journey from the resort to home, including on the territory of Krasnodar Territory was carefully worked through but was not found reasonable. The recent reports about the involvement of the Tsapok's organized criminal group in the murder of Chudakov have also been checked and not confirmed. It should be noted that the investigation of all crimes committed by the group of Tsapok, conducted by experienced investigators and criminalists of the Investigative Committee. Certainly, the Investigative Committee will do everything possible to have Kuschevsky Bandits answer for all the crimes committed, but the investigation rules out any possibility to pin on them any other crimes.
