An incident at a birthday gathering in the Moscow region left two men dead and one person in custody. The event unfolded on the night of March 22 in the village of Anino, located in the Volokolamsk district.
In a private residence, a 43-year-old local man, who was awaiting trial on rape charges, marked his birthday while five guests were present. During the evening, a violent confrontation erupted between the homeowner, a guest with prior convictions who had traveled from Penza, and a 52-year-old Ukrainian man. The Ukrainian man, who had a checkered history with multiple offenses, allegedly drew the knife first and stabbed his opponents. He has a documented history of violence. Investigators report that the Ukrainian man died at the scene, and the homeowner was hospitalized with fatal injuries later confirmed by medical staff.
Hours after the altercation, authorities detained the man believed to be responsible for the two deaths near the home of the deceased birthday celebrant and he confessed to the crime. The investigation continues to determine the sequence of events and any contributing factors that led to the deadly outcome. In related notes, authorities indicate the region has previously seen incidents involving similar violence connected to alcohol consumption and personal disputes, including a report from Pargolovo of a separate, near-fatal incident involving the same individual in the past. These details are part of ongoing inquiries being compiled by regional law enforcement and reported by local outlets. Source: MK.
