In Moscow, an employee of the Russian Ministry of Defense's military counterintelligence department and kettlebell sport champion Vladimir Feshchenko was killed, as reported by Tengrinews.kz citing RBK.
The primary theory suggests accidental homicide: a bullet struck the man in the head. The incident occurred on January 13.
"The body of Vladimir Feshchenko was found in a building in central Moscow. Preliminary information indicates he was murdered. It is possible that the shot was fired during a dispute between two men," noted a source from the publication.
According to RIA Novosti, the motive for the murder stemmed from a domestic conflict with a military individual, who has been detained as a suspect, and a criminal case has been initiated.
