Murder Story

On the night of June 3-4, 2017, at around 2:37 a.m., shots rang out in the courtyard of the "50 Years of October" gardening community in the village of Redkino near Tver. Five people were sitting in the courtyard: Vyacheslav Savelyev, Oleg Demchenko, Alexander Redin, Vera Smirnov, and Pavel Smirnov. Sergei Egorov shot them with a Saiga carbine. He finished some of them with blows from the butt of the rifle.

Egorov then entered the house. He killed Ivan Zagornyan and Lyudmila Vysotskaya, who were a married couple, and 92-year-old Galina Savelyeva. At 2:41 a.m., 21-year-old Marina Konygina called the police and reported an armed man who had killed several people. Konygina had hidden under a blanket and survived. She said the killer entered the room several times but did not find her.

After that, Egorov ran to a neighboring property. He killed Svetlana Sorokina and Oleg Demchenko, who had earlier run off and tried to warn others. Two other people, Alexey Veskov and Natalya Chistyakova, hid in a house on a neighboring property and survived. In all, nine people were killed: four women and five men. Three of the victims were local residents and six were from Zelenograd.

One of the victims was hidden in the trunk of a parked car. The perpetrator had intended to burn the house and the bodies. The police arrived while Egorov was dragging bodies into the house. He was arrested at the scene. At the time of arrest he was intoxicated and offered no resistance.
