Court has found the evidence collected by Moscow Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee enough to convict Alexey Kabanov. He was found guilty of the crime under part 1 of article 105 of the RF Penal Code (murder).

The court and investigation have found that at night of 3 January 2013, Alexey Kabanov and his wife Irina were home and drank some alcohol. Then they had a fight, during which Kabanov attacked his wife, knocked her to the floor and started strangling her with a wire and hands. To make the woman stop resisting he hit her about nine times in chest and stomach. As a result of her injuries and massive bleeding the woman died on the spot.

To hide the crime Kabanov carried the body in the bathroom, cut it in pieces and packed. Later trying to imitate his wife’s disappearance, he reported her missing. To make it look more convincing he stuck to this version in social networks and media. He threw some parts of his wife’s body in a dustbin near his house and carried and hid the others in the trunk of a Skoda car. These parts were found by the investigator during a search on 11 January 2013.

The court has sentenced Kabanov to 14 years in maximum-security penal colony.
