The suspect in the murder of a schoolgirl with a hammer in St. Petersburg has been arrested. This was reported in the joint press service of the city courts.

As specified, the teenager will be in a remand center for two months – until July 2. Previously, this was requested by the survey.

Investigators say a 16-year-old boy, accompanied by his 15-year-old girlfriend, lured the girl into the woods and beat her to death with a tool. In addition, the schoolgirl filmed what was happening on camera.

It was alleged that the accomplices had previously dug a hole where they would then lure their victim. Later, they also buried the body of a 13-year-old seventh-grader there.

The day before, we learned that the teenagers were detained. The young man has already confessed. Now the court is considering the issue of choosing a preventive measure for his accomplice. The minor has not yet been charged.
