According to journalists, Aleksey Zmanovsky and scientist Andrei Botikov quarreled over the type and volume of sexual services. A court in Moscow detained the man until May 2.
The Moscow Khoroshevsky Court in the Russian Federation has, by May 2, arrested Alexei Zmanovsky, accused of killing Andrey Botikov, one of the creators of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. On Friday, March 3, RIA Novosti reported, citing the court’s press service.
“The court accepted the inspector’s petition to issue a preventive measure against Alexei Zmanovsky in the form of detention,” the court said.
According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, on the eve of March 2, Zmanovsky quarreled with the scientist in Botikov’s apartment on Rogova Street and strangled him with a belt.
According to the online publication Mash, 29-year-old Zmanovsky, a native of Kaluga, provides sexual services to men in Moscow for material reward. Presumably, he argued with the scientist who invited him into the house because of the volume and type of sex. According to the media, after the murder, Zmanovsky robbed Botikov.
Multiple stab wounds and abrasions, as well as suffocation marks, were found on the body of the deceased.
According to journalists, Zmanovsky has an accomplice – his 18-year-old girlfriend Olga Duboiskaya, who came to the capital of the Russian Federation from Kaluga. A man was waiting at the entrance of the house. The girl was also arrested.
During questioning by the police, the man fully admitted his guilt. RIA Novosti writes that Zmanovsky is already on trial for a serious crime.
The man accused of murder faces up to 15 years in prison.
remember today Focus already mentioned the murder of Botikov. He worked as a senior researcher at the National Epidemiology and Microbiology Research Center named after NF Gamaleya. Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the co-authors of the patent for the Sputnik V vaccine, awarded the scientist for developing the drug.
Later it became known that Botikov was killed by a man who provided sexual services. Prior to that, he had served 10 years in prison for kidnapping.
On March 1, Russian media reported that shadow banker and Kadyrov’s former adviser, Pyotr Chuvilin, died in Moscow under strange circumstances. He was aware of where Chechnya leaders and high-ranking Russian security officials were hiding the shadow capital.
