The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of murder against Alexander Kopytov, a resident of an apartment in Izhevsk in which an explosion allegedly took place on November 9. Kopytov's detention was announced on 10 November.

The case was initiated under the article “the murder of two or more persons committed in a generally dangerous way” (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

According to investigators, the motive for the crime was personal hostility. The UK said that "the investigation has doubts about Kopytov's mental health", he will be assigned a psychiatric examination.
