Among the victims was a handyman from Tajikistan. It is claimed that he was killed, having previously dressed in a business suit, in front of a businessman who was extorted a large amount of money, just to demonstrate the seriousness of his intentions. Meanwhile, in previous publications about the case it was said that the "cashes" were not robbed, but tried to control and killed in case of refusal of patronage.
