A man killed 9 people in Tverskaya. Bloody madness in Redkino: the killer forced the last of nine victims to dig the ground with his bare hands. — The Smirnovs have a daughter. Do you know her

What does a murderer sentenced to life imprisonment think and hope for? Does he feel sorry for his victims and how does he explain what happened? The TIA film crew managed to talk in the pre-trial detention center with the “Redkin shooter” Sergei Egorov, who shot nine people at point-blank range on the night of June 3-4. In the pre-trial detention center, he was awaiting November 2 - the day of consideration of his appeal in the Supreme Court on appeal - life imprisonment with serving the first 5 years in prison, the subsequent term - in a special regime correctional colony.

In pre-trial detention center-1, on the square. Gagarin in Tver, we arrived early, because getting into a sensitive facility is a tedious task: handing over phones, presenting documents at the checkpoint, getting two passes, etc. When we walked along the corridor to the visiting room, we were sure that we would have to wait until Egorov was brought to us for an interview. However, as soon as we entered the small and stuffy room, we saw a prisoner behind the glass - he held his hands behind his back. Egorov was still wearing the same checkered shirt in which he attended all court hearings. We sat down on chairs screwed to the floor, set up the equipment, removed the handcuffs from the condemned man, took written consent to conduct video recording, and the conversation began. Egorov remained calm and answered all questions quite frankly, because, as he himself said at the end of the interview: “I have nothing more to lose!”

Is anyone visiting you?

Family visited a couple of times: daughter, mother, brother. They didn’t let my second daughter and wife in, I don’t even know why. It's hard to get to me. It's very difficult for the family. It’s my daughter’s birthday soon, I wanted to give her a jeep if she learns to get her license. Now it won't work.

What was the most difficult thing for you in the courtroom?

Did you expect such a verdict? Why did you appeal to the Supreme Court? And what punishment do you consider fair for yourself?

I was waiting. As for the appeal...I don't hope for anything. Everyone serves, I served too. What can we hope for here? Nine people. Twenty years for each is 200 years. The verdict is fair. Judging from a human perspective, I either get a life sentence or a prison sentence. But a prison sentence is a mild sentence, you have to sit for the rest of your life and suffer... I’m not singing a song here.

Do you remember the events of the night you committed the crime? Why did they start shooting?

I vaguely remember what happened. I remember that we were sitting in a group and drinking. But I don’t know what happened next, why it switched. But it had to happen. That's what happened.

Why did this have to happen?

I can tell you, but you won’t believe me, you’ll say I’m crazy. I see some things in advance that will happen. These are some signs. I see strange things, sometimes I share them with everyone, especially if some troubles are about to happen. Therefore, whether I wanted it or not, whether I avoided it or not, it inevitably happened. In the morning, I even told my mother... it was a madhouse, of course, at first glance... but I had a vision that five men at the dacha would start harassing me about the wiring, they would want to cut me up and bury me, but for some reason, with a slight movement of my hand, I told them all chopped off their heads. That’s exactly what happened in the evening, only there were four more women in the pile. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Such images appear in my head out of the blue, color pictures, like in a movie. Maybe it’s because of epilepsy that I have such glitches. I've had it since birth.

What caused the quarrel? There was information that because of a dispute over military service.

No, this is all fiction. They came up with it all. It makes no difference to me who served where. At 45 years old, who cares who served and who didn’t. I served in Germany. Well, what kind of airborne soldier am I? Complete nonsense. It was they who came up with the fairy tale later. At first, during the interrogations, I understood that they would give me a life sentence, so I said: “Write what you want, I’ll stupidly sign everything.” Well, they made it up there. When they started reading it to me, I kind of came to my senses. What kind of nonsense did they write there, they made me crazy. And the cause of the conflict was in the wiring. They started pestering me about why I didn’t do wiring for them for free. Like, we’re giving you a treat, we’ve covered the clearing. And I told them that I would do the wiring as promised, just buy materials, meters... They need to weld iron doors there. I didn't go back on my promises. He even offered to go in his jeep with a trailer to buy everything that was needed for the construction site. In general, some kind of stupid conversation ensued. she started accusing me of looking askance at me, saying that you want me... In general, we had a fight. They sent me away and I went home. And then, when it was past midnight, something switched, I went there and shot them all. I don’t remember how I shot... I don’t even remember how I walked there in the dark. I’m 45 years old, I’ve had so many fights, I never even thought about shooting anyone there, especially such a crowd of people. I got close, and when I woke up, I thought: “Well, this is the end for me.” Then the police arrived.

Is it true that when you were detained, you asked the police to shoot you?

I didn't ask. When they tied me up, they simply said that “a creature like you should be shot, say thank you that we just arrested you.” And I answered them: “Well, just take it and shoot me. I don’t argue.”

When you came to your senses, what feelings did you experience: remorse, pity, fear? What were you thinking?

Then they sent me to a mental hospital. I hoped that they would actually be able to find out something about what was going on in my head. But they did not conduct any examination. They said, do what you want, but we will still write that you are healthy so that you can be locked up in full.

I slept there all day long. It was like I was in a dream, I couldn’t believe that this all happened to me. I lay there all day and thought: now I’ll wake up, and this will all be over, and nothing terrible happened. I lived like a month in a fog.

And now?

Six months have already passed. I’ve already moved away, I understand that this is not a dream... All my life I believed in Heavenly Father. I always wanted to do something useful for society. My birthday is Epiphany, January 19th. I always thought that since I was born on such a day, something good was bound to happen to me. I've been waiting all my life. But something strange happened. That's why I ask God - why do I have such a fate? I wanted to live correctly, but in the end I killed nine people. I don’t know, it means it’s necessary, some kind of test. But test is test, but what does the people have to do with it? I brought so much suffering to people. I can neither explain nor understand why this is to people, why to me. I asked and asked for something normal in life, but here... to sit in prison for life. Questioned! In general, there is no answer for me yet.

How many people are in the cell with you? How do they treat you?

We are a party of four. My cellmates treat me normally. I don't get into conflicts. I behave quietly and peacefully. I play sports and read books. Sitting around with nothing to do will make you a kolobok. I was always active, I worked a lot, but here you are sitting in a 2x2 room. We need to keep ourselves busy with something. Since childhood, I liked technology, and I worked in Moscow in a company installing and repairing air conditioners, video cameras, and refrigerators. He loved cars, bought them, repaired them, customized them, repainted them.

Do you know what conditions you will live in in prison, what the regime is like, where you will be sent?

Don't know. I have no idea. But I think that nothing good awaits me there.

And they didn’t even ask the other prisoners, the lawyer?

My lawyer was funny. It’s not like he put in a word for me, he actually advised me: since you’ve been given a life sentence, you can behave as you please: you can kill all the guards, you can run away. Like, you have nothing to lose.

Are you afraid of anything now - death, punishment, remorse? Is forgiveness or redemption possible for you?

No. I'm not afraid of anything anymore. What can I do now? Nothing can be changed. Everything has already been decided for me. I am just waiting for an answer to my questions from God. I hope I can wait. Because I’m not crazy, and before this I’ve never done shit to anyone in my life, I helped. There must be an answer.

I don’t even think about the future. I don't know what could happen to me in a minute. What can we say about the years... I have no health problems, I’m as healthy as a wild boar. But since such strange things happen to me, then anything can happen. I both believe and don’t believe... You know, one evening I came home, we were going to have dinner, and suddenly it was like a picture before my eyes: they dragged me underground into hell, there was such a huge room, a 20-meter demon stood in front of me, and below were three boilers and people are fried there. The demon tells me: “This is hell, look!” Why did they show it to me? Maybe I'll be there... They didn't show Paradise. I know this sounds crazy... Or maybe not!

The site's correspondent visited a dacha cooperative on the outskirts of Redkino, where the night before the 45-year-old Muscovite committed brutal reprisals against his “offenders.”

At three o'clock in the morning from June 3 to 4, a telephone call was received at the duty station of the Konakovo police department. The girl’s alarmed voice announced that the man was in the courtyard of one of the houses on Michurina Street in the “50 Years of October” gardening community.

At the signal, the local police officer left. On the spot, the police officer assessed the complexity of what was happening and requested reinforcements - the traffic police crew on duty nearby was sent to help.

State traffic police officers arrived at the house at the moment when the suspect with a gun was carrying a man who showed no signs of life. After waiting for the man to put his weapon on the ground, the local police officer and traffic inspectors detained him. As soon as the suspect was handcuffed, the police began examining the scene and saw a literal mountain of bodies. Seven corpses were piled one on top of the other. In total - eight people with gunshot wounds. Everyone is dead.

In the country house, police found the only eyewitness to the incident.

A young girl, the bride of one of the killed, under a table on the veranda of a country house. She was the one who called the police.

The shooter himself was outrageously drunk at the time of his arrest and could not clearly clarify the situation. The man was sent to the Konakovo police department for further investigation. Later in the trunk of a Ford Focus parked nearby.

By morning, the holiday village was cordoned off, with law enforcement officers on duty at every step. Relatives of the victims arrived, with whom psychologists began to communicate.

An unprepossessing-looking two-story house with a chain-link fence was surrounded by a ribbon with the inscription “Attention! Danger zone!”, there are brown streaks of blood on the steps and at the gate. It seemed that the coals were still smoldering in the grill, on which just recently a cheerful group of friends were grilling shish kebab - a symbol of a good neighborly feast in the fresh air...

Meanwhile, the picture of the bloody massacre – it’s hard to describe the horror that happened at night in the dacha cooperative in any other way – gradually began to take shape.

Access to the street where the tragedy occurred was limited, and it was not at all possible to enter the dacha cooperative by car. Everything was cordoned off by police officers.

The night before, a company of 11 people gathered - they marinated meat, cut salads, and bought alcohol. In a word, the friendly atmosphere of a Saturday evening in nature. All the participants in the feast are quite cultured people leading a normal lifestyle. Not drunkards, not parasites.

When it got completely dark, the vacationers had already drunk a lot. The topic of military service arose in the conversation. It’s unlikely that anyone will remember the dialogue that led to the argument and quarrel. But at some point the phrase slipped through the table: “If you haven’t served, you’re not a man.” These words really hurt 45-year-old Sergei Egorov, who had not really served in the Armed Forces. He assured those gathered that he served in the Airborne Forces. They didn't believe him.

Offended, Sergei silently got up from the table, went to his country house, took the Saiga carbine he kept and rejoined the company.

“The carbine belonged to the shooter on the basis of a permit for the storage of civilian firearms,” commented the head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Tver Region, Vadim Levshin, on the presence of the carbine in the summer resident’s possession.

After that the terrible thing began. What was going on in the shooter’s head at that moment cannot be explained. Sergei Egorov opened fire.

Apparently, he shot people with particular cruelty. He fired one bullet at some, and shot several times at others. Egorov began to mock his last victim and forced the man to dig a hole in the ground with his bare hands. For what, only the killer himself knows, but he is unlikely to remember it.

Also, for reasons understandable only to the killer, he placed one of the shot women in the trunk of a car parked next to the house.

After the bloody massacre, the shooter piled the bodies of the victims together at the entrance to the country house. Why he did this is also unknown. One of the assumptions is that he intended to burn the dead along with the house. But this version does not find official confirmation.

A country house, next to which a bloody massacre unfolded.

Summer residents practically do not stay in SNT houses at night. Few people spend time here from sunset to dawn. That night, the owners of two summer cottages remained in the depths of the village, but they did not pay attention to the shooting. “We heard shots, but thought it was either firecrackers exploding or fireworks,” the summer residents admitted to the site’s correspondent.

Egorov had not been convicted, and the only administrative offenses against him were fines from the traffic police. I was never registered with a psychiatrist, and in general I was a jack of all trades.

Locals say that in the summer he came from the capital to Redkino to relax. He brought his mother and sometimes his daughter with him. Egorov not only rested, but also helped summer residents with electrical and wiring repairs, finishing houses, and did not shy away from other chores for little money.

“He and his friends helped build dachas here and renovate them. A skillful man, what can I say,” one of the summer residents shared with the policeman from the cordon.

Now 45-year-old Muscovite Sergei Egorov is in a temporary detention center. Tomorrow in the Konakovo City Court a preventive measure will be chosen for him. Considering what was done, this will be an arrest.

At the hands of a seemingly diligent and harmless Muscovite, nine people died - four women and five men. According to preliminary investigation data, six of those killed were residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, three from Redkino. Nine human lives. People of different ages - some were about 25 years old, others were over 40. Among the dead was a 92-year-old pensioner. Their lives were cut short in the early morning of June 4.

On Sunday morning, June 4, the whole country learned that in the Tver region there is the village of Redkino, Konakovsky district, and in the village of Redkino there is a gardening partnership “50 Years of October”. At night, a bloodbath occurred there - a drunken electrician shot 9 people (initially it was reported that there were eight dead). He mercilessly finished off the wounded. He shot at close range, aiming exclusively at people's heads and literally demolishing them with powerful shots. It was as if the usually quiet man had gone crazy.

The victims of the drunken aggressor were 4 women, including a 92-year-old grandmother, and 5 men. At the same time, the killer first forced one of his victims to dig his own grave. The room where the killer left the bodies was completely filled with blood.

It has already been established that a 45-year-old native of the Yaroslavl region Sergey Egorov lived in Moscow. Officially he was unemployed. In the village where the bloody tragedy occurred, Egorov worked as an electrician. In the capital, he has a partner, with whom he recently lived separately, and a student daughter. Egorov was never convicted; he was only given fines for speeding. When asked why he shot 9 people, Sergei did not answer.

So, at about 3 o’clock in the morning on June 4, Moscow resident Egorov spent time with his summer resident neighbors. In total, 11 people took part in the conversation preceding the shooting. During the drinking session, a quarrel arose. Then Egorov went to his home, took the gun, returned and shot the whole company. It is believed that initially Egorov did not intend to kill all the participants in the feast. He killed several people as witnesses. He actually blew off the head of one woman; her identity has still not been established.

According to one version, the reason for the reprisal was the ridicule of drinking buddies about the fact that Yegorov did not serve in the army. He tried to lie about the fact that he still served in the Airborne Forces, but it didn’t work - Egorov really was neither a border guard nor a VADV serviceman and had never spent a day in the army. And he took ridicule extremely painfully.

Miraculously surviving girl named Marina, one of the company, was able to hide under a blanket on the second floor of the house during the shooting and called the police. The arriving police subdued the killer, who was trying to hide the corpses. According to the surviving witness, she had previously seen Egorov in their partnership, but did not notice anything suspicious about him.

— I know that among the dead is the 92-year-old grandmother of the owner of the dacha Vyacheslav Solovyov, as well as Soloviev himself. And their friends, husband and wife Smirnovs, she told police and reporters.

The last victim of the massacre was later found in the trunk of a car parked near a private house. As it turned out, before killing the woman, Egorov tried to force her to dig her own grave, and when she refused, he killed her.

Three of those shot were residents of the village of Redkino, the rest, like Yegorov himself, came from Moscow. The Smirnovs' daughter was left an orphan.

Polina Smirnova and her deceased parents - Pavel and Vera

“Since you were not in the ranks of the Armed Forces, you are not a man!”— the drinking buddies laughed at the electrician. In response to this, the man went to get a Saiga carbine, and when he returned, he started shooting everyone. By the way, “Saiga” is a powerful smooth-bore weapon designed for hunting large animals; wounds from it are comparable to wounds from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The weapon belonged to Egorov completely legally.

The shooter was detained in hot pursuit. He was drunk and didn't even try to hide.

Former chairman of the gardening partnership Tatyana Arkhipova, where the murdered people were visiting in the evening, told media representatives some details of the shocking drama:

— My granddaughter had her 8th birthday, and we got together: me, Pasha Smirnov, his wife Faith, Sasha Redin. They sat with me, then I had to put my granddaughter to bed. Well, they congratulated us and went quietly and peacefully. And this electrician, Sergei Egorov, also came to me and said: “Every day Lobanova demands that you be disconnected from the electricity.” I began to be indignant: on what grounds?

Marina Lobanova- the new chairman of the partnership, who replaced Arkhipova in this post, which Arkhipova herself is clearly not happy about - says that Lobanova sent the previous electrician to turn off her light, and when he did not listen, she kicked him out of work and took Egorov.

“I haven’t talked to him before, I’ve never talked to him before.” He came to pay membership fees, but no more, I had a thousand of them, but you can’t talk to everyone. He arrived already tipsy. And it seems to me that he was already “twisted”.

Tatyana Arkhipova now thinks that Egorov went out to kill people intentionally.

“When he came to me, he boasted that he had a gun. Pasha, Sasha Redin and Vera went to their home on Parkovaya. And this electrician also went in his red car and also illuminated the way for them. How it happened then, I don’t know. Maybe they'll Slava Savelyev came in, they also knew each other. They often sat together, grilled kebabs, and talked. Slava also died. Or maybe straight to Vanya Zagornean Let's go and Slava was there - I can't say for sure. They killed everyone in Vanya Zagoryan’s house. Everyone was there, including Vanina’s wife. And only Slava’s girl remained alive and hid. I think that this electrician was coming back from there to kill us. But, probably, he mixed up the house and went to the neighbor’s, to Yakovlev, but it was necessary to go in the other direction. And we were sleeping in the house downstairs, and I didn’t hear anything at all - no shots, nothing. And only at 6 am I found out what had happened.

in the village of Redkino, Tver region of Russia. 45-year-old electrician Sergei Egorov killed nine people. The girl miraculously survived, hiding under the blanket.

The future killer was passing by and decided to look at one of the vacationers' dachas. Introducing himself as a new electrician, he began to communicate. However, when Egorov said that he served in the Airborne Forces and was a good shot with a gun, he was laughed at.

Marina’s young man asked the electrician what unit he served in, but never heard an answer. They laughed that he was 45 years old, but he lived with his mother and could not give his unit number.

When the argument became too heated, the uninvited guest was asked to leave, threatening that otherwise he would be in trouble. Egorov slowly turned around and suddenly took off and ran towards the car. Then the clock was about 12 o'clock at night. And at 02:30 the first shot was heard.

I slept on the first floor near the window and through my sleep I heard Slava laughing. At this moment a shot and screams are heard. I look out the window and hear swearing. Slava is killed first. I see blood and brains flying out. Then he approaches Alexander, hits him twice with the butt of his gun and sends him off to dig a grave for his friend. The man covered his head, and Egorov continued to beat him, Marina said in the program “Let Them Talk.”

After some time, the shooter killed the second victim. In a state of shock, the girl hides under the blanket and tries to call the police. At the same moment, another bullet from the shooter overtakes Pavel. But Egorov did not immediately kill the women, he wounded them, they begged him for mercy, saying that they had children. However, this only inflamed him.

He immediately enters the house, and I’m on the line with the police, so I cover myself with a blanket... I have my dog lying here... Luda opens the door to find out what happened and sees the whole picture... I look with peripheral vision through the crack and I see how he hits Vanya on the head with the butt and also says: “Bitch, go dig your friend’s grave, he’s already dead,” she said.

Then the killer shoots Ivan, and then Lyudmila. He enters the room where the girl was lying, but again does not notice her.

As a result, I hear him approaching Vera. Vera begs him, cries, says that she has a daughter, children. Then she begs him again. And he just shoots at her, I didn’t hear Vera again... He also shot at Oleg, but only wounded him. Oleg ran home and warned his people. They had 5 or 10 minutes to escape. And then, then all I can hear is how he approaches first one, then another victim and simply finishes them off,” continues Marina.

But then Oleg returned and was also shot.

Later I found out that I killed Oleg first. Then Egorov wounded Sveta. I heard them moaning. Then I found out that he finished her off with an iron chair... The man didn’t have half a head,” she tells her terrible story.

Then Egorov began dragging the corpses into the house and returned with gasoline.

I understand that if he lifts the blanket now, I will be gone. At this moment, he suddenly turns around and goes after the last corpse. At this time I hear that the police arrived and detained him. Then I crawl out from under the blanket and the first thing I see are corpses... Just meat. Broken insides, holes... When I left the house, there were brains, pools of blood, internal organs everywhere,” the girl described what she saw.

First of all, Marina began to look for the body of her beloved, but came across the corpse of her grandmother.

When he killed her, she screamed: “Dear boy, what are you doing?” But he didn't feel sorry for her. And one more thing - almost all the victims were undressed... The first thing I did was go up to the police officers and ask for a gun to shoot him. And I asked them to say that I was defending myself. At that moment I was ready to take sin on my soul. I was ready to just kill him.... And one more thing. When Egorov saw that someone was still alive, he was shocked. It was noticeable how he frantically thought about how he missed me... I was probably born wearing ten shirts,” she admitted.

EGOROV PLEADED GUILTY

As Egorova’s lawyer Ekaterina Stepanova said, her client admitted his guilt.

But regarding awareness, I would not rush. At the time of our communication, he was still in a state of shock and did not fully understand what had happened,” she said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda in Tver.

Stepanova also confirmed that the cause of the conflict was military service.

The deceased served in the airborne troops and on this basis began to humiliate and insult the defendant, who himself served in the air defense. This topic turned out to be a sore spot for him. By this time, they were all already very drunk, each had two liters of vodka or maybe a local surrogate, so he lost his mind. And the women present there, instead of cooling the ardor of the quarrel, on the contrary, incited the men. If they were sober, then nothing like this would have happened; it’s all alcohol’s fault,” the lawyer believes.

Egorov did not officially work anywhere, but traveled to Moscow, where he was involved in the installation and maintenance of air conditioners. He has a brother and a 17-year-old daughter. He separated from his wife and did not communicate with his family. He lived in a gardening partnership with his 90-year-old mother.

On the night from Saturday to Sunday, June 4, in the village of Redkino, Tver Region, companies were buzzing at their dachas, gathering on the occasion of the first summer weekend. But one stayed up late. 10 people: local summer residents, all neighbors, knew each other. They also invited a local electrician - he had recently appeared at the dachas, but he seemed like a good guy, why not invite him. In the morning, the police will find 9 corpses here and detain that same electrician on suspicion of mass murder. Investigators, as well as Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondents, worked all day yesterday at the site of the bloody massacre. We were able to reconstruct the picture of what happened from sources close to the investigation, as well as by talking with neighbors and residents of the dacha cooperative.

HOLDING A GRIEVANCE

It was already well after midnight when the conversation between the tipsy friends turned into tales and “you respect me.”

“And I served in the Airborne Forces,” Sergei Egorov suddenly boasted. And he began to tell how they hit bricks with their heads and jumped with a parachute.

But no one in the company knew about the new friend’s army background and they began to make fun of the man.

- Come on, you didn’t serve at all! - someone waved his hand. - You don’t look like a Vedeveshnik, look at yourself!

They began to say that he was not a sporty guy, an ordinary guy, he was playing around in his company, but there was no normal work. In general, it doesn’t look like a military man in the past (during the interrogation, the accuracy was brought in by the shooter himself)

Egorov flared up and jumped out the door. The company continued to hum further. But soon the man returned: full of anger, in his hands a Saiga carbine.

“Now I’ll show you how I can shoot,” with these words the drunken Yegorov pointed the barrel at the people. No one even had time to figure anything out. A deafening shot - and one of the vacationers fell down dead, then the second. The rest rushed to run, jumped out into the street, but Egorov methodically and accurately killed everyone. The footage that appeared on the Internet, taken in the yard after the massacre, shows bloody paths, bushes, and grass. One of the men tried to hide in a wooden toilet near the house, but Egorov shot him down too. Only one 21-year-old girl was able to hide under a blanket on the second floor while the shooting was going on in the street. With trembling hands, she dialed the police number.

The district police officer and local traffic police inspector were the first to arrive at the scene. It was already dawn. They were afraid to go for capture right away. Having crept up to the house, we saw a man with a carbine in his hands in the yard, pulling down corpses and placing them in a row. When he put down his weapon to take on another body, the police pounced on him and pinned him down. Moreover, law enforcement officers found one of the dead only in the morning in the trunk of a car. Apparently, Egorov stole the corpses for a reason - he wanted to cover up the traces of the crime: either take the bodies out or burn them. As a result, four women and five men became victims of this night massacre.

HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LAW

The gardening partnership “50 Years of October,” where everything happened, hid in a forest belt next to the railroad. A couple of kilometers away from it, a police checkpoint has been set up since the morning:

- Cars are not allowed. The press is not allowed, they say. But grandmothers with knapsacks are allowed through unhindered.

In addition to the police, there are Investigative Committee investigators from Moscow, emergency services, hearses, psychologists - many summer residents are very scared. Someone is trying to distract themselves with work: somewhere a lawnmower is humming, somewhere buckets are rattling.

The houses are mostly on six hundred square meters, there are no wealthy people here, new metal tiles are already a sign of prosperity. The mass shooting took place on Michurina Street. Let's go there.

The house where the tragedy took place belongs to one of the dead men. An old two-story dacha, the owners apparently were doing renovations - they replaced the windows with plastic ones, and there was scaffolding along the façade in the courtyard. There's an ATV in the yard.

— Egorov never had any problems with the law before. He owned the weapon legally. The most he has is fines for speeding,” Vadim Levshin, head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Tver Region, dryly comments to KP. Law enforcement officials are tight-lipped. Therefore, versions are beginning to appear on the Internet that the shooter allegedly forced the victims to dig their own graves. The police deny it.

“It’s unclear why he did this.” Horror. After all, everyone who was there were decent people - an elderly woman from the house next door still cannot recover from the shock. – I knew the deceased Smirnov family well. They are the same age as Egorov. They are hard workers, I often opened greenhouses for them. They have a daughter who is a student, I don’t know if they informed her or not.

Little is known about the shooter himself. He was born and raised in Yaroslavl. But it’s been 20 years since he moved to Moscow. According to some sources, he was recently unemployed. It appeared in the holiday village quite recently. Nobody knows whether he bought the house or is renting. He came mainly on weekends with his 90-year-old mother. I started working as an electrician.

— The first time I saw him was on May 10. He made a good impression - a normal man. “No inappropriate behavior,” Marina Lobanova, the chairman of the horticultural partnership “50 Years of October”, was terse in a conversation with KP.

But another neighbor, from a house nearby, recalls:

“He came to us to take meter readings and he smelled so bad, I thought he was drinking or something.”

A criminal case has been opened into the mass murder of summer residents. Police and investigators from the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation are working at the scene. The investigation of the criminal case has been entrusted to the Central Office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

CALL TO SK

“All the necessary investigative actions are now being carried out, our specialists are examining the scene of the incident using the latest forensic technology,” said Svetlana Petrenko, official representative of the Russian Investigative Committee. — The suspect is being studied personally.
