The woman hired thugs to cripple a female rival. The performers ‘overdid’ the job, killing also the man and his new lover.
The bodies were found in the morning on December 20 in a house down the Alibehau street in Minsk. The man was struck with a knife 50 times, the woman – 30. The Minsk police said that the double murder has been solved, with persons involved in the crime detained.
According to the investigators, the woman that hired killers had not asked to kill the victims, but only “to send to the hospital” her rival for a couple of weeks, then she would have had the opportunity to restore a relationship with the man. She paid her ‘assistants’ Br 5 million which is roughly 250 EUROs.
A criminal case under part 2 of article 139 of the Criminal Code of Belarus was launched with the killers facing life imprisonment or even execution.
