The Russian who executed his colleague in the fire was sentenced

The Krasnoyarsk Regional Court sentenced a resident of Kansk to 17.5 years in a special regime colony for brutal punishment by a colleague. The regional prosecutor's office reported this to Lenta.ru.

According to investigators, in October 2018, after celebrating Motorist Day, a conflict occurred between the employees of the car depot, after which the defendant planned reprisals against his opponent. At a motor depot, he beat a man, tied his hands with wire and took him in a trunk to the Kan River.

There he beat the victim again, covered him with car tires, doused him with diesel fuel and set him on fire. The man did not survive, and the defendant provided himself with an alibi. It was not possible to identify the culprit.

In 2025, the investigation of the case was returned again, after which the defendant was detained. He did not admit his guilt.
