Homophobic murder in Kamchatka

On the night of May 29, 2013 on the territory of the autodrome in the village of Zaporozhye Ust-Bolsheretsky district of the Kamchatka Territory, three men killed a 39-year-old fellow villager. The reason for the incident was that the victim - deputy head of the airport "Ozernaya" in the village of Ozernovsky - had "non-traditional sexual orientation". The attackers first kicked the man in the head and body, and then inflicted multiple stab wounds.

The victim died at the scene from his injuries. Then the suspects put the body in the interior of his car, doused it with gasoline and set it on fire.

SO IC RF for The Kamchatka Territory initiated a criminal case under paragraph "g" part 2 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code (murder committed by a group of persons).

All three suspects were arrested and taken into custody. One of them is a 21-year-old employee of a fish processing company.
