Law enforcement officials have not ruled out the possibility that the parents may have forced the boy to be killed in St. Petersburg to blackmail suspects. Life reports this is related to Shot.
According to the Telegram channel, the 38-year-old man participating in the proceedings initially made an obscene offer to a 9-year-old boy and promised to pay 5 thousand rubles to fulfill his request. The boy allegedly refused and told his parents about the incident.
“They allegedly came up with a plan and used blackmail to easily earn half a million rubles,” the publication reported.
Allegedly, it was only after this request that the man decided to kill. He noticed the boy near a local shopping center, where he “made money” by cleaning car headlights.
