Man Detained for Murder After Body Found in Gatchina Quarry

Police found a dead body near the village of Ostrov in the Gatchina district. They spent months looking for who did it. Last summer, two men were drinking together inside a house when they started arguing. The younger man, age 41, attacked his 59-year-old friend with a knife. He stabbed him twice in the stomach, killing him right there.

The killer tried hiding what he did. He carried the body away from the house. He threw it into a quarry close to Ostrov village. Investigators finally caught the man responsible. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation announced these details. Law enforcement officers opened a murder case.

Officials charged the suspect under Criminal Code Article 105, Part 1. They will decide soon how to keep him locked up during the investigation. The suspect faces serious prison time if convicted. The case happened in the Leningrad region last year. The press service shared information about the crime after they solved.
