The court acquitted the defendant in the case of contract murder on the street Marata

Kuibyshevsky district court of St. Petersburg acquitted the defendant in the case of preparing a contract murder on Marat Street. According to the joint press service of the courts of the city, the jury found the defendant innocent. On the basis of the verdict, the court issued an acquittal and recognized his right to rehabilitation.

According to investigators, in 2025, two men, experiencing personal hostility to the victims and wanting to seize their money and property from an apartment on Marata Street, were looking for the perpetrator of the murder. They found a man who reported the plan to the police.

From February 19 to April 7, 2025, customers discussed the plan with the contractors. They wanted to come to the victims under a contrived pretext, add sleeping pills to drinks and food, steal valuables, take the victims to the forest in the Fox Nose and kill, and then hide the corpses. One of the accused handed over 2 thousand rubles to the ORM participant for the purchase of the drug and reported information about the victims.

In April, two men approached the victims' home. At the entrance to the front they were stopped by police.

Earlier, the district court detained one of the accused. In respect of the second suspect, the jury issued an acquittal.
