Murders of gays in Russia are just murders

Over the past seven years, at least 267 people have been killed, beaten or robbed in Russia because of their sexual orientation. In most cases, investigators do not take into account that the crime was committed with hate motives and regard it as “ordinary.” For example, this murder, according to investigators, was committed without a motive of hatred:

“In June 2015 in Yalta, businessman Bogdanov woke up in a friend’s apartment where he lived and saw that his friend was holding an “erect penis” in one hand and was stroking his shoulder with the other hand. As stated in the case materials, Bogdanov beat his friend with a hammer, dismembered the corpse with a saw and knife, transferred parts of the body to the loggia and filled it with concrete. In his confession, the man wrote that “the motive for the murder was the homosexual orientation of the deceased.”
