In the Moscow region, authorities chose a preventive measure for a 19-year-old man suspected of a brutal scalping attack. The information was released by the Telegram channel of the Moscow region prosecutor’s office. The court ordered the suspect to be kept in custody until September 10, 2023, pending the investigation into the assault on a resident of Elektrostal. During the hearing, one of the suspects requested house arrest as the restraining measure, while the other did not oppose the request from the investigator. Both defendants admitted their involvement in the crime, according to the department.
The criminal case has been forwarded to the investigative department of the Main Investigation Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow Region for further inquiry. On July 9, two individuals allegedly struck a 19-year-old resident of Elektrostal with a knife due to a green mohawk style. The attack occurred near the Kristall pool on Sportivnaya Street. After the confrontation began, the victim was left by his friends, who fled the scene with the assailants nearby. Bystanders provided first aid to the wounded before emergency services arrived. Two suspects were taken into custody on suspicion of stabbing.
On July 10, residents from Komi were detained in connection with the crime. A second suspect was arrested on July 11 as the investigation progressed. Earlier reports described a Saratov resident who faced an incident that involved a hospital visit at an inconvenient time, adding another layer to the broader case context. The ongoing inquiry continues to assemble a detailed timeline of events, identify all participants, and determine each person’s role in the incident. Official updates emphasize that investigators are examining motives, relationships among those involved, and any prior connections that might shed light on the violence. The case remains under close review by regional prosecutors and the investigative bodies responsible for handling serious crimes in the Moscow region and beyond.
