In the LPR, a mother and a minor son were detained on suspicion of murdering pensioners

In the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), law enforcement officers detained a local resident and her 17-year-old son for reprisals against single pensioners and theft of their savings. The Investigative Committee of Russia told Lenta.ru about this.

During interrogations, the teenager stated that he did not want to commit a crime, but his mother psychologically pressured him, blackmailing him with her death.

In November 2023, an elderly man was found in a private house on the outskirts of Belolutsk with signs of violent death. Then it was not possible to identify the culprit, so the case remained unsolved for a long time.

In August 2026, a similar crime occurred in the same locality, the victim of which was a lonely pensioner. Then the investigators were struck by the similarity of the crime. Moreover, a glove was found in the forest a kilometer from the site of the last incident. The study allowed us to establish the genetic profiles of two individuals. They turned out to be detainees.

Investigators established that the attackers took away the savings of pensioners. The total amount of stolen money was about 250 thousand rubles.
