A driver killed a friend over a debt and kept the body in the car trunk near the village of Dubinino. This was the key finding reported by the Moscow Regional Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation as part of the ongoing inquiry.
The investigation establishes that the suspect opened fire on his acquaintance during a dispute over money on September 7, 2022. The confrontation escalated to lethal force with a firearm, and the body of the victim was later concealed in the trunk of the vehicle. While en route, traffic police officers became aware of a portion of the body visible inside the car and halted the vehicle as part of routine enforcement and safety checks.
The suspect initially fled the scene and attempted to abandon the body and the firearm used in the crime, but investigators were able to apprehend him after a pursuit. The arrest marked a turning point in a case that has attracted attention due to the shocking nature of the concealment and the circumstances surrounding the debt dispute.
Earlier reports indicated that the deceased, found in the trunk of a taxi in a suburban area, had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The current investigation in Dubinino seeks to piece together the sequence of events, confirm the motive linked to the financial dispute, and determine any additional involvement by others in the crime or its aftermath.
According to prosecutors and investigators, the case continues to develop as forensic teams examine the crime scene, the vehicle, and related materials. The authorities emphasize that the pursuit of justice remains the central focus, with all relevant evidence being collected, documented, and evaluated to ensure a transparent and thorough legal process.
