The suspect in the bombing of the military in St. Petersburg could leave Russia

The source of REN TV reported that the attacker, who planted an explosive device under the car of a soldier in St. Petersburg, managed to leave Russia, while his identity has already been established by law enforcement officers. The Investigative Committee opened criminal proceedings in the case of the murder of a military man – a speech about the explosion of a car on the Kolpin highway in the area of Shushar. At the scene of the incident, forensic specialists continue to work.

It all happened on the morning of November 12: the explosion occurred at the moment when the car was leaving the house. According to preliminary conclusions of experts, the homemade device was placed under the bottom of the vehicle.

The colonel was driving. A member of the officer's family was also present in the cabin - he survived but sustained injuries. The shock wave affected a nearby bus: it knocked out the glass, but the passengers were not injured.

Due to the incident, traffic on the Kolpinsky highway was temporarily closed. An operational headquarters was deployed at the site: investigators, forensic experts and representatives of emergency services work there. The Investigative Committee conducts a detailed inspection of the scene and appoints a set of forensic examinations; information about the position and division of the deceased has not yet been made public.

It is noteworthy that the incident occurred about 500 meters from the site of another similar emergency – a car bombing in late August. A soldier was also killed in a similar attack.

The August episode is being investigated in separate proceedings. In that case, the performer planted an explosive device, and then left for Turkey. The current incident in the same location forces the investigation to carefully check the possible relationship between the two crimes.

It is worth noting that the scheme of remote detonation with the placement of a charge under the bottom of the car has already been recorded in this sector of St. Petersburg. To work out all hypotheses, the Investigative Committee initiated a number of forensic examinations. At the same time, operational units are analyzing the suspect’s routes, including data on his possible departure abroad.

Did not have time to get into the car: the details of the assassination attempt on the developer of the drone “Ghoul”.
