The Krasnodar Territory investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee continue the investigation opened in the murder of an 87-year-old resident of the village of Bolshevik, Yeysk District who was a veteran of the Great Patriotic War (part 1 of article 105 of the RF Penal Code).
It has been reported earlier that a neighbor found the dead body of the veteran with a stabbed wound to his neck in his house on 18 June 2014. The crime was committed under unobvious conditions and so remained unsolved for a long time. But thanks to active operations of the regional investigative committee and cooperation with the regional Main Office of the Russian Ministry of the Interior the investigators found out that a 29-year-old resident of the town of Yeysk had been involved in the crime. The man was detained.
According to the investigators, earlier the suspect, who had lived next door to the veteran, had borrowed money from him via his friend’s mother. However, he had failed to return the last debt of 30 thousand rubles. In the afternoon of 18 June 2014, he came to the elderly man to ask for more money to fix his car. According to the suspect the veteran refused and demanded that the man paid him the previous debt. Then the suspect took out a knife and stabbed the veteran to death in the neck and fled the scene. The neighbor found the body and called the police. According to investigators veteran’s medals and orders had not been stolen.
By now the man has been charged and placed in custody pending trial. Investigative operations are underway to find out all the circumstances of the crime. The investigation is ongoing.
