Russian gangster said to have ordered murder of 4 Room shopping center
director criminalnaya.ru Mirab S.
The director of the Kyiv-based 4 Room shopping center, Shabab
Aloyan, was threatened by Mirab S., a relative, before being killed,
while a gangster known by the nickname of Mirab ordered the murder,
Inferior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko said at a press conference in Kyiv
on Wednesday.
The minister said that a second suspect detained by the police is
wanted by the United States and Armenia.
"As our Russian colleagues testify, he is in the elite of killers,"
Lutsenko said.
According to him, the trial of the alleged killer should be conducted
in Ukraine, as he is a suspect in three murders, including a murder
of a policeman, in the country.
"According to our data, there are two Mirabs, one of them is a gangster
and another is Mirab S. We think that the direct threats came from
Mirab S., while the gangster ordered the murder…," the minister said.
When asked whether they had been detained, Lutsenko said: "They have
been identified. Currently we’re resolving questions: what their
citizenship is, under which conditions they live in Russia and whether
Ukraine has enough evidence to bring them to account."
As reported, the director of 4 Room shopping center died of gunshot
wounds in hospital, while two security guards, employees of the Titan
special unit detachment, died at the scene of the shooting at the 4
Room shopping center on October 2.
One of the two attackers died in hospital on Saturday of gunshot
wounds and injuries received during a traffic accident.
