On Monday, several intruders broke into the home of a Russian meat tycoon known as the "Sausage King" outside Moscow, broke into gold, tied him and a woman before crucifying him, and demanded money.
The woman managed to escape the attack in the
Moscow area and alert police, but the businessperson was killed’ when officers
arrived at the scene, according to the investigation committee, which in itself
the Russian version of the FBB.
The agency did not name the dead man in its statement, but RENTV and other Russian media identified him as Vladimir Marugov,
owner of the "Ozyorsky Sausages" and "Meat Kingdom" sausage
factories.
Serious and occasional assassinations have often
made headlines in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s,
but they have become less common since President Vladimir Putin came to power
at the end of the century.
The investigators said the intruders demanded
that Marugov hand over the cash he had kept in his home, and he fled in a car.
He said investigators found a murder weapon, a crossbow.
The vehicle was also found’ in villages near the
town of Astra, west of Moscow, where wealthy Russians have indigenous homes
called dachas and enjoy weekends.
