The investigator Levon Agadzhanyan conducted both affairs. “The victim (in the Kubrakova case. - Ed.) Was killed on the street just like Temnikov, whose death is accused of me, with one blow of a knife in the left side of the chest, hitting my heart. A professional blow,” Konstantinov noted.
“There are documentary evidence that Kubrakov threatened and knocked out from him - with the active participation of the investigator Agadzhanyan,” Konstantinov said. “But neither this nor the absurdity that the boy with left -wing and anti -fascist views was accused of murder on the basis of national hatred, he did not help Kubrakov to avoid the verdict. He was convicted of the same Simonovsky court, where he was now now And now the story is repeated again.
