In Balashikha, near Moscow, a 14-year-old girl argued with her mother and asked a friend to uncover the people responsible for a murder. The Investigative Committee released this information through the press service of the regional headquarters.
A girl asked her friend to identify the murderers after a quarrel with her mother. The friend suggested this task to two teenagers for 350,000 rubles. On March 24, the girl and her friend admitted two young men into the apartment as they awaited the mother’s return. When the woman stepped inside, one of the defendants attacked her and strangled her. The teenagers then returned home late that night, two days later, and carried the body on a makeshift stretcher to dumpsters outside the building, where it was later found by a passerby, according to the department.
Olga Vradiy, a spokesperson for the Moscow Region Investigative Committee, explained in a meeting with TASS that the alleged murderers were tracked and detained. She noted that four defendants were charged with murder, with birth years 2009, 2002, 2006, and 2007.
The Ministry’s Telegram channel announced that the detainees are subject to the provisions of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. A court petition will soon be submitted to seek a pretrial restraint measure. A series of examinations are planned, including psychological and psychiatric assessments.
On the eve of the newspaper MK it was reported that the identity of the murdered woman had been determined. The publication identified her as a 39-year-old real estate agent who lived alone in a rented apartment with her schoolgirl daughter. The report noted that the argument between mother and daughter began when the girl invited a 15-year-old boy from another region, who she had met online, to stay with them for a while. For two weeks the conflict intensified, and two weeks later the mother asked the guest to leave. It was mentioned that 3.5 million rubles were hidden in the home as savings, and there was speculation that the guest intended to take the money for himself.
Occultism and black magic
The Main Investigative Committee of the District reported that on December 4, 2022, a 14-year-old girl was detained in the Moscow region on suspicion of killing her younger brother. A criminal case was opened on the murder of a six-year-old boy under the relevant clause of the Criminal Code. The girl was taken into custody on suspicion of murder.
Investigators say the girl beat her underage brother to death at a private residence in one of the SNTs in the Bogorodsky urban district. REN TV later cited a source claiming the girl carried out the act as part of a task received online. During questioning, the schoolgirl allegedly admitted meeting a man on social networks who gave her the assignment to kill a family member. Reports stated that the brother was struck with an axe and the family returned home to find the child covered in blood.
The television channel also reported that the father of the children held Nazi-era symbols and occult designs, including tattoos and wooden carvings, and reportedly taught similar themes to the stepdaughter pictured in photos bearing Nazi symbols.
Triple murder in Omsk
On January 22, authorities found the bodies of three people in a house in the village of Yuryevka, Pavlogradsky district, including a 38-year-old man, his 35-year-old wife, and a ten-year-old daughter who died from stab wounds. Two more children, a 14-year-old girl and her six-year-old brother, escaped to neighbors for safety.
Police later detained the two teenagers involved. Investigators say the 14-year-old girl persuaded her 17-year-old boyfriend to kill her mother and stepfather because they had rejected their friendship and deteriorated family relations. The young man killed two adults and a ten-year-old girl with a musculoskeletal condition that the 14-year-old sister had not been caring for. The youth later admitted guilt. A criminal case was opened under the relevant section involving the killing of two or more persons.
After the murder, the 14-year-old suspect allegedly took his six-year-old brother to the neighbors and claimed someone unknown had entered the house. The suspect then misled police about his location to misdirect the investigation. The investigation later recovered a knife and bloody clothing from the scene after the suspect confessed.
A source noted that the girl had claimed her stepfather had abused her, prompting the decision to harm him. The six-year-old brother witnessed the events and was frightened, with his sister shielding his eyes and ears during the crime. The family’s surrounding area and the details of the case have drawn wide attention from local media outlets and the public.
