A 23-year-old local resident in the Amur region is expected to appear in court on charges related to the death of his 18-year-old girlfriend. The information was released by the regional press office of the Investigative Committee and related authorities.
The events unfolded in the village of Bolsheozerki during the night spanning January 14 into January 15. According to the report, jealousy over the man’s visit to a cafe for rest contributed to the escalation. The two had been living together, and a quarrel reportedly began in a messaging app before the incident. Upon returning home, the man allegedly retrieved a shotgun and discharged a single shot at the girl, striking her in the head with a scatter shot.
In subsequent statements, investigators described how the accused attempted to avoid responsibility by leaving the home and meeting a friend, then inviting the friend to visit. It is claimed that the accused feigned surprise when the two men entered the residence and found the body, a detail that prosecutors are reviewing as part of the ongoing inquiry.
Legal proceedings indicate that the defendant has admitted guilt regarding the girl’s death. The case will proceed to court for a formal trial in the near future, under the jurisdiction of the Amur regional judiciary. The proceedings are being conducted in accordance with standard legal procedures, including the collection of evidence, witness questioning, and consideration of applicable charges.
There is a separate note in the records indicating a previously reported resident of another region, Bratsk in Irkutsk, who faced a murder-related case in 1997. This historical reference is part of the broader context of regional criminal activity being tracked by authorities, though it is unrelated to the current case and does not affect the ongoing investigation in Amur.
