Today the court under the petition of the investigator of the Moscow Central Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has placed Dmitry Vinogradov into custody as a pre-trial restraining measure.

According to investigators, in the morning of 7 November 2012, Vinogradov entered the office of the pharmaceutical company, with which he is employed and opened fire from his carbines. Two men and two women were killed at their workplaces. At the stairs to the office the suspect shot to death another of his colleagues. One man and one woman were wounded and hospitalized. Later the man died of the wounds. The woman is in grave condition.
Investigators with the participation of criminologists of the Central Office of the Russia’s Investigative Committee checked testimonies of the suspect on the spot during which he gave details of his actions.
