The investigation went to court with a petition to select a preventive measure in the form of detention against the commander of the Crimean militia company, Kirill Gontarenko. The second accused, Vladimir Kikavets, who is in custody, also turned out to be difficult. He is a former member of the Motorola squad. It was precisely because the accused were difficult that the police showed an incomprehensible loyalty to them, and Gontarenko, despite recordings from surveillance cameras, was completely released. And this despite the fact that they beat a man to death and cut him with knives, Sergei Sukhov. Only after indignant people blocked the street in Yalta and gathered near the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Gontarenko was sent to jail, and the Investigative Committee took over the case.
According to investigators, on the night of September 6, a group of acquaintances drank alcohol in one of the local cafes, where they had a conflict. After leaving the establishment, two men began to beat the third, after which they forcibly put him in a car and went for a ride around the city. The conflict continued at the Livadia-2 public transport stop, where the victim was inflicted with numerous stab wounds in the abdomen, chest, neck, and arms. The victim died from his injuries in a medical facility.
