Criminal Investigation into 2000 Murder of Two Girls in Krasnoyarsk Territory Completed, Accused Arrested

Krasnoyarsk Investigators Complete Criminal Investigation into 2000 Murder Case

Investigators in the Krasnoyarsk Territory have concluded their criminal investigation into the murder of two girls in 2000, according to a statement from the regional head office of the Investigative Committee.

Remains of Missing Girls Found, Suspect Arrested

Earlier this year, the remains of the girls who went missing in June 2000 were discovered buried at a depth of 5.5 meters in the Kizimsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In March, the investigators announced the arrest of the accused in this crime. The suspect, who previously resided in Kudinsk, confessed to the murder of the two 16-year-old girls.

Details of the Crime

According to investigators, the girls had gone to the suspect’s garage at the end of June 2000 to demand payment of an 800 ruble debt. As the suspect did not have the money, he became enraged and fatally beat them with a sledgehammer. He then disposed of their bodies in a deep ditch near the garage before disappearing. The investigation initially struggled to identify those involved in the girls’ disappearance.

Case Sent to Public Prosecutor’s Office

The report confirms that the criminal case against a 42-year-old resident of Krasnoyarsk, accused of murdering the two minors in Kudinsk in June 2000, has been completed. The case has now been forwarded to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for approval of the indictment, after which it will proceed to court.
