A man who raped and strangled a schoolgirl 14 years ago was detained in Sverdlovsk Oblast.
In Pervouralsk, police arrested 39-year-old Vladimir Borisov. He had been on the international wanted list and had been hiding from law enforcement for about 15 years. The man is accused of rape, forcible sexual acts and the murder of a schoolgirl. All this happened in April 2011.
The body of a strangled 12-year-old girl was found at the bottom of a stormwater culvert in Nyagan (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug). She had gone missing a day earlier while returning from school. A sewer manhole was a ten-minute walk from her home. At that time the perpetrator’s identity could not be established, and the case was suspended.
But in 2022 investigators probing crimes from past years decided to check previously convicted men.
“Biological material was taken from more than two thousand men who had lived in or been in Nyagan on the day of the murder for comparative analysis with the DNA profile of the person whose traces were found at the crime scene,” the Investigative Committee said.
Law enforcement managed to find a suspect, but he went into hiding. The man was placed on the international wanted list. He was detained on October 20 in Pervouralsk. He will be brought to the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in the near future, E1.RU writes.
Earlier it was reported that jurors in Yekaterinburg acquitted a defendant accused of a murder 25 years ago.
