The release indicates that police have solved a crime that occurred in 2004 in Ust-Kamenogorsk, with the coordination of the VKO prosecutor's office.
"On January 22, 2004, the body of a man with multiple stab wounds was discovered in one of the houses in the regional center. A criminal case was opened regarding this incident. However, at that time, the perpetrator managed to escape, and to destroy evidence, he set the house on fire, which significantly complicated the investigation. Years passed, but work on the case never ceased... In February 2025, the investigation was revived, and operatives conducted a series of activities, during which they collected new evidence and restored fragments of proof. This allowed them to track down the suspect."Press service of the VKO police department
