The case has gone to court after the victim's death
In the Arkhangelsk region, the investigation into a criminal case of robbery and intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm has been completed: two women aged 34 and 40 will face trial, accused of brutally attacking an acquaintance who later died from his injuries. This was reported by the regional Investigative Committee directorate.
What happened, according to the investigation
The tragedy occurred in the autumn of 2025 in Kotlas. The owner of the apartment invited two women he knew to his home, where the group spent several days drinking alcohol. At some point, the guests demanded his bank card and the unlock code giving access to banking apps. After the man refused, according to the investigation, they turned to violence: they beat him, inflicted cuts and stab wounds with a knife, and pressed a heated iron against his body, trying to force him to reveal the needed information. These details are reported by Life.ru citing the case materials.
The outcome of the attack
The attackers failed to gain access to the money: they took the apartment owner's passport and fled. Some time later, the man died from the injuries sustained during the attack. The investigation into the robbery and intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm has been completed, and the accused will now stand trial.
A similar case in St. Petersburg
This is a separate case, unrelated to the Kotlas one: earlier, the same outlet reported that in St. Petersburg, a man was held in an apartment for three days, beaten and forced to transfer cars to the attackers. According to the victim, they took 1.5 million rubles in cash and his phone, and also forced him to sign documents for the sale of an Audi and a BMW; the total damage exceeded 12 million rubles. Police identified two suspects and detained them.
