May 4, 2023

Investigators are asking to take into custody a young man and a girl suspected of the cold-blooded murder of a seventh-grader with a hammer in St. Petersburg. This is stated in the joint press service of the city courts.

As noted, the corresponding request from the investigation was received by the Krasnogvardeisky District Court.

Recall that the day before, we learned of the detention of a 16-year-old schoolboy and his 15-year-old accomplice. The investigation believes that the teenagers lured the schoolgirl to the forest in the village of Parlagovo, after digging a hole there.

The girl thought she was invited to a picnic. According to the media, she could also be called into the forest under the pretext of an interview, since the murder suspect was a blogger.

The moment of the schoolgirl’s murder was allegedly filmed live by his girlfriend. The footage shows the girl telling something to the camera, then a young man comes up from behind and starts hitting her on the head with a hammer.

The suspect has already confessed and indicated the place where he buried his victim. A murder case has been opened.
