science fiction Writer from the suburbs Pavel Balashov, the bartender from Moscow Roman Simonov and former military from Transnistria Sergey Eremenko – three defendants, so not similar to each other, the court emphasized aquarium shun each other. And more recently they share a common dream – to open a bar for bikers. And ready for implementation they were at all. The trio accused in the brutal murder of the “king of wapow” – businessman Alexander Baev. The Moscow city court on Wednesday delivered a verdict in this case based on the verdict of the jury that decided the guilt of defendants is completely proved. The convicts and their defense stated that the Board failed to understand this fact. At the same time, tell me how it happened, no one wanted. “MK” has found out details of the case.
a Guilty verdict the jury returned on August 22, according to him, Simonov, Balashov and Eremenko is not even worthy of indulgence. That it was a big surprise to the defendants, who called the version of the investigation fiction, it became clear on the eve of the verdict.
the Consequence considers that the crime was planned and Simonov committed from mercenary motives. Bais did not want to share with Simonov of their total business selling electronic cigarettes. Once it was successful, which buys and earned the nickname “king of vapou”, and then began to decline, Simon has offered to sell it. But the business was one Baeva.
Simonov officially worked as a bartender. In one of the bars, which became a meeting place for bikers, he met Balashov. He once served as a border guard, and then began to write stories in the style of military fiction. The most famous of his work “Blind jump”. Balashov, like Simonov was into bikes and also worked part time in pubs. Eremenko also had a passion for motorcycles. When I moved to Russia from Transnistria, he joined the bike club. The work found in the shop wapow in the Queen — brought the goods, sell it.
According to investigators, a private bar where all three would find a job you love, Simonov expected to open on the money from the sale of the cigarette business. Bais but the idea is not supported and refused to share. Partner planned to eliminate.
Alexander Baev has not returned home from work on March 21, 2018. Relatives told the police. The result is then presented with a picture of the murder.
Balashov gave Eremenko 150 thousand rubles, that he bought a car and mobile phones needed to complete the plan. March 21, Simonov and Balashov arrived at a Large office Will Baeva to 18 hours, and Eremenko – at 21.15. Balashov, who was Baeva, went outside and lit a cigarette, filing the rest of the sign that the office is free. Simonov was on the stairs and watched the situation. Eremenko came toreslo, in which sat the owner and tried to knock him out with one blow to the head. But Baev kick stand. Then Eremenko began to strangle him, but to cope on their own failed, he was helped Balashov — threw on the neck of the “king of wapow” the wire began to tighten. His body was Packed in a “bag Shuttle traders”, was loaded in the car Eremenko – he left it in the Parking lot. Later the body was moved to another machine and moved to the forest where its filled with foam-in bag and buried it.
the Result was released on Eremenko, he confessed and indicated the place where the body was buried. He is hoping for a plea deal, turned on her partners, but then from the transaction and from testimony refused.
In court each of the defendants denied their guilt. But the jury found them guilty in the murder committed by an organized group by prior agreement.
At the meeting, which discussed the consequences of the verdict, the trio sat down as far away from each other, so far as possible the size of the aquarium. Balashov — the senior of them all — sat in the corner, his heavy head all the time looking for support. Sometimes he pulled out some papers and went deeper into them. Looks Balashova, its well supported in prison in his body, no hint that he had something to deny yourself.
to Support Simon, a strong bearded man with pick in hair, sitting in the center of the cell came a large young woman with crimson hair, bright tattoo on his arm and a bag with the image to hug the cats. We find out later that it was his civil wife Dasha. Simon could not take his eyes off her. Then gave a sign, they both raised their bottles of water, drank, and smiled.
In contrast to these two Eremenko, the youngest, looked painfully thin. He nervously tossed and turned in his corner of the aquarium and all the time glancing at the woman, reminiscent of a grown-up goth, the sad skinny brunette in black clothes and black nails. Civil wife Eremenko Yana cried. Sentence her beloved was planned exactly on the day of the birth of his daughter. Yeremenko’s eyes also filled with tears.
the Judge read out a telegram of the Chernihiv region of Ukraine from the sister of the victim. She asked to appoint the defendant the maximum sentence. The woman wrote that she suffers from what cannot even visit the grave of his brother, not to mention the installation of the monument.
Simonov, who was looking at her she smiled.
the Prosecutor read out the data about the identity of the defendants.
Simonov psychiatrists have identified “expressed psihopatizatsii personality”, while psychologists the cynicism, demonstrative, inflated self-esteem and persistence in the response to external factors. Inflated self-esteem and level of claims identified and Balashova, and overall all three of them – ordinary people: no one convicted, does not suffer from the dependencies, all positively characterized neighbours and work colleagues. Eremenko was awarded the head of Transnistria for participation in the liberation of the hostages. Balashov alone, and Eremenko, wanted to adopt a daughter Jana, his lawyer even insisted that the judge admitted the photos of them together.
And then Balashov burst. He stood up and said that the materials which are studied without a jury (this is including information about the identity of the defendants) “there are some documents which led to the conclusion that the verdict is erroneous because it is based on incomplete information”.
– the Parties are prohibited from questioning the correctness of the verdict of a jury. I talked about this when he explained the characteristics of the process of jury interrupted the judge.
the lawyer Then Balashov Denis Vokin said that the accusation is based on only one testimony Eremenko, from which he later abandoned.
the lawyer stood Up Eremenko, Hope Eruslanova, and stated that her client was forced to give such testimony because he has received threats, including against his family.
Instead of to actively protect Balashova, his lawyer actively performs the function of state Prosecutor, – blamed the defender Eremenko.
– I did it because of the threats to my life and the lives of my wife with the child went on to explain Eremenko. The lawyer I hired a motorcycle club assured me that it is necessary to give such testimony. Got a letter that the lawyer Balashov gave me, in it he asks to leave testimony of what I gave initially.
the Judge’s letter was not accepted.
the Prosecutor said that the penalty you want to assign to Simon given his leadership role, and Balashov and Eremenko as performers.
Neither aggravating nor mitigating circumstances there. Please note that Eremenko during the investigation indicated the location of the corpse and testified about the role of each of accomplices, the Prosecutor said. And asked to nominate Simon for 17 years, Balashov – 16, and Eremenko – 15 years of a colony of a strict mode.
And then the advocates began to criticize the jury. They stated that it was unable to objectively consider the case. But rather just did not want to delve into it.
one juror was working the phone, correspondence was active, the second showed their views boredom, is constantly chewing gum, the lawyer said Eremenko. The Board was incompetent and did not understand. Even after parting words to the jury did not understand, did not participate in the investigation of the case.
the Lawyer Balashov pointed out to the judge that by law, if the presiding officer recognizes that the verdict is against the innocent, or his participation is not proven, the presidency��officer makes a decision on the dissolution of the Board.
– There are grounds for application of article… – said the lawyer.
– But you’re not presiding, interrupted the judge.
– But I can talk about it in the debate, retorted the lawyer.
You just talk about it want? Well, let’s, ‘ said the judge.
– a jury had thrown out a huge amount of evidence, conflicting testimony of witnesses, was a big break. They do not understand… – the lawyer continued.
– You thereby questioning the validity of the verdict. I said that it is inadmissible, – has again interrupted the judge.
When it came time for the defendant to say his last word, Balashov said that his lawyers submitted to the court review of the examination of the corpse, which “blew charge.”
– it says that the way that is indicated by the investigation, the murder was committed could not be – said Balashov.
According to him, could not on the neck Baeva, whose height 190 cm, stay the trail from suffocation, as if the noose was pulling up, because the growth of the Balashov — 170 cm
– I write a lot, suddenly said Balashov. – When I have inspiration books. I’m trying to write memos, motions.
According to him, after the “unjust” verdict, he wrote poems in which he tried to recount.
– Read them I can not, – sighed dramatically Balashov. – I want to give them to you.
the Judge politely responded that the time of presentation for some material has passed.
Apparently, Balashov hinted that Eremenko strangled Baeva, because Eremenko – high growth.
Looking at Eremenko, however, take a doubt that he could take the role of chief executor of the crime. Maybe his looks are deceiving, but Eremenko — stick-branches. It is not surprising that with one punch he could knock Baeva.
Yeremenko said that he came to office on a machine that is constantly moved. The territory was called on the passage and was not afraid to show his face to the guards. And it was a good job he was not going to “change unknown” .
-my motive was not absolutely, ‘ said Yeremenko. – Clearly no benefit from this crime I had not. Please do what is right.
Simonov also said that he does not understand “how the Board took such a verdict.”
According to him, he went to the toilet, when “in trouble”. He admitted that he participated in the concealment of the corpse, was a witness in the case, but there’s no hiding from the investigation.
– It looks like the actions of a man who’s guilty? asked Simon. – I haven’t hired anyone, never meant no death, no evil. I was charged with attempt of obtaining business, but I didn’t approach the company, it was eventually sold to a stranger and disappeared, and I just debts paid who did Alexander. If I’m an organizer, I’m a moron. About what speaks a consequence, it is illogical, stupid actions, because I arrived at the office in his car, with two phones. I ask you to hear that I’m not guilty. Yes, I showed cowardice, not called the police. I was just afraid. I may look fearless, but I’m afraid like any other person. I’m afraid not to see people close to me. I have left one family only sick aunt and brother. And civil spouse, which is the dearest thing in the world… I Ask you to show humanity and to appoint me to the minimum…
After this meeting, “MK” talked with his civil wife Simon and lawyers Balashov and Eremenko to understand what happened.
– no One knows what it really is, the accused is not told, – said Darya.
the jury hearing the case only in the framework of the charges. We believe that the fault of my client has not been proved, – declined to answer lawyer Balashova.
And defender Eremenko said that because he was detained first, fellow bikers through his lawyer asked him to take the blame.
– they Have a hierarchy, he could not refuse, said the Hope Eruslanova.
besides, he promised to help with Russian citizenship.
according to the lawyer, Eremenko used blindly. He was summoned Balashov 18 hours. He came in his car and waited for his call. It appears that you need to hide a corpse Baeva.
Who killed the “king of vapou”, the lawyer is also silent. Mentioned only that Balashova, which is related to the LC, often had with Baewyn “political differences”. Balashov hated him, called “dill”, Baev paid him the same coin.
In court, none of the defendants did not want to testify against each other, each waiting for a jury it was his unproven guilt.
But the judge, referring to the verdict, Simon was sentenced to 17 years in strict regime colony, Balashova – 16, and Eremenko to 14. The last is the only one of three who received the judge’s leniency for their active assistance to the investigation.
don’t worry, it’s not a loss, it’s only the first lost fight, – said goodbye to Roman Simonov his lawyer.
Defenders intend to appeal the verdict and hope that the case will be retried.
