Police announced name of possible murderer in Birulyovo

"The police have found out who could be the possible murderer. It may be Arhan Zeinalov from Azerbaijan,” Moscow Department of the Interior told Interfax.

The police have asked citizens to report his whereabouts.

"Be careful if you encounter this person. Do not talk to him,” the police press service stressed. 

A crowd of neo-nationalists and football fans started looting the trade centre Biryuza and a vegetable warehouse near Birulyovo on October 13. The police detained 400 people. Then they raided the warehouse and detained 1200 migrants.

It started because people demanded to find the murderer of 25-year-old Yegor Shcherbakov. A stranger stabbed him with a knife on the night of October 10 before his girlfriend’s very eyes. The murder looked like a person born in Central Asia or the Caucasus, the girl said (see the video).
