A seventeen-year-old resident of Primorsky Krai is set to stand trial after being charged in connection with the death of a fifteen-year-old acquaintance. The information comes from the press office of the Investigative Committee for the District Investigation Department, which is handling the case.
The events unfolded on the first day of 2023 in Artem, near a residence on Lenin Street. According to investigators, the two youths met in that location, and a dispute between them escalated into a confrontation. During the altercation, the older teenager struck the younger one in the hip area with an object alleged to have been used as a weapon. The injuries sustained were severe, and the younger boy succumbed to the wounds shortly thereafter.
Authorities have charged the suspect with a grave offense described in legal terms as inflicting grievous bodily harm, dangerous to human life, carried out with a weapon, and resulting in the victim’s death unintentionally. The case against the minor is progressing through the judicial system and is expected to be examined by a court in the near future.
Additional information released by authorities indicates there had been prior incidents in the area, including reports of theft involving glass and rumors of a neighbor allegedly poisoning himself with chemicals found in the ceiling. These details have been noted by the investigative bodies as part of the broader context in which the incident occurred, though they are not presented as direct links to the fatal confrontation.
