A 32-year-old man was convicted for the murder of two pensioners in the Moscow region
The man has been charged with the murder of two people for mercenary motives and robbery. This was reported in the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Moscow region.
The man originally planned to commit the murder of a married couple and rob the house.
