The entrepreneur Valery Nigmatullin and his son Eugene are defendants in the case, they claim that in the department for combating organized crime during the interrogation they were brought electric wires to wet legs and deprived of air. Under torture, they confessed that they allegedly took arson together with the aim of killing an official.
As the lawyer of Meyram Telemisov told Znak.com , his client Evgeny Nigmatullin immediately after placing in a pre -trial detention center wrote a statement addressed to the head of the regional investigative committee that he testified to himself and his father under pressure. Now the defendants are in the isolator, the court sent them there for 2 months.
According to the police and the Investigative Committee, the entrepreneur and his son set fire to the house where the acting head of the Yarkovsky district lives, "with the aim of committing the murder." Cases were initiated in two articles: "Fogging" and "Encope for the murder of two or more persons in a generally hazardous way." The official managed to escape - she ran out of the house.
