The Moscow Murder Case Involving a MADI Inspector and an MMA Fighter
The man named in connection with the killing of a Moscow Administrative Highway Inspectorate (MADI) employee is identified as mixed martial arts fighter Lamberd Akhyadov. TASS, citing a law enforcement source, provides the initial briefing on the case with Akhyadov at its center. According to the preliminary materials, authorities have determined that Akhyadov, known for his MMA career, is accused of fatally injuring the MADI inspector. The agency’s source indicates that the investigation is still in its early stages and that formal charges are being prepared.
Akhyadov began competing in mixed martial arts in 2014. Over his career he fought fourteen times and secured nine victories, with his most recent bout occurring in the autumn of 2019. His background in the sport is part of the public interest surrounding the case, though officials have stressed that the focus remains on the homicide investigation.
The fatal incident occurred on December 31, 2022, along the Moskvoretskaya Embankment, where a MADI employee lost his life. Following the event, authorities arrested the suspect. It later emerged that the inspector had been documenting parked vehicles when an unidentified individual approached and asked him to stop recording. During the ensuing confrontation, the attacker delivered 16 stab wounds to the victim. A criminal case has been opened under Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which covers murder.
In related regional reporting, there have been other notable incidents, such as a separate event in Yekaterinburg involving a drunken individual who allegedly hijacked an ambulance and used emergency lights while driving with companions. These reports provide broader context on public safety incidents reported in the same period.
