The Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has announced the completion of an investigation into a grave crime committed in 1993. A 56-year-old local resident is accused of murder and attempted murder that took place at that time.
According to the investigation, on the night of October 27 to 28, 1993, a conflict arose in an apartment in Yakutsk due to personal animosity. The accused stabbed three acquaintances. As a result, one of the victims died at the scene, while the other two survived thanks to timely medical assistance.
After committing the crime, the suspect was declared wanted and remained in hiding for a long time. In 2024, having changed his personal details, he arrived in Moscow for work, where he was held accountable for violating migration laws. He subsequently left Russia again, but was apprehended by law enforcement agencies upon his return in 2026.
The detainee was brought to Yakutia and remanded in custody by a court decision. Based on the evidence collected during the investigation, the criminal case has been sent to court for trial.
