One of the suspects is being checked for another episode — the disappearance of a woman
The first day of August brought terrible news to the residents of Karelia: in the village of Derevyannoye, two families, a total of six people, were brutally murdered, and their homes burned. The killers were quickly detained; they turned out to be outcasts and criminals who kept the entire area in fear.

The village of Derevyannoye, 25 km from Petrozavodsk, on the shores of Lake Onega, has a rich history. Including the military: it was in the area of the village of Derevyannoye on June 28, 1944 that the Soviet landing force, landing in Uyskaya Bay, began the liberation of Karelia from Finnish troops. Now the village with sandy beaches has actually become a summer cottage — many residents of Petrozavodsk have bought houses here and come here on weekends.
It all started with information about fires that broke out in two houses at once. Fires are not uncommon in these places; it became scary when the fires were extinguished. The bodies of two people were found in one of the houses, and four in the other. It became clear that the people did not suffocate in the fire, but died from knife wounds.
As the investigation found out, in one of the houses — on Druzhby Lane — 39-year-old Artyom Tereshchenko and his 70-year-old father Vladimir Tereshchenko, who lived in the same village, but in a different house, were stabbed to death.
At the same time, there could have been many more victims, and among them could have been the children of Artyom and his wife Irina, who was the first to call the duty station. When robbers broke into the house, the children jumped out the window and ran to their grandfather. The grandfather rushed to his son’s aid and was killed himself…
“There was terrible news in the morning,” says a local resident, “at night Tyoma Tereshchenko was stabbed to death in the village, the criminals broke into the house, knocking out the latch. Ira was on shift. The children managed to jump out. Andrei (their son) called Uncle Vova, he came running and was also stabbed to death. The house was set on fire! I don’t know anything else yet.”
The second house — on Lesnaya Street — caught fire two hours after the first. An entire family died there — disabled brothers Konstantin and Dmitry Lonin, their sister Svetlana, as well as an elderly 75-year-old man, Vladimir Sergeenko, who was registered nearby, but was with them on that fateful night.
The suspects were identified without delay; at the time of their arrest they were very drunk. Of course, as follows from the police report, they were detained at 4 Naberezhnaya Street. That’s where the local pub is located. That is, after the massacres, they went to celebrate this matter…

These are two local residents, 37 and 38 years old. Both have previous convictions. It is known that one of them was serving a sentence for drug trafficking, the other for rape. The video of the interrogation shows a young man sitting with his back, simply dressed, with a short haircut. “I don’t understand why I’m here,” the suspect says distantly when asked why he was detained.
The motive for the crime in the village is considered to be a banal desire to profit from other people's property, coupled with long-standing personal hostility and alcohol and drug abuse.
According to the villagers, one of the killers, Maxim Bochkarev, was married, but at the same time led a marginal lifestyle, periodically organizing drinking sessions and showdowns with neighbors. On Bochkarev’s page on the social network there are photographs from the wedding, as well as from the maternity hospital: two years ago the couple had a daughter, who is now destined to grow up without a father. There are also photographs from the “workplace” — after leaving the colony, the man worked part-time in construction and logging.
Less is known about the second killer, Igor Safonov: he lived in Petrozavodsk, had an expunged criminal record and periodically visited a friend in the village to drink alcohol together. After such drinking bouts, the village groaned: they say that thugs walked the streets with axes, threatening passers-by, and could easily knock down someone’s door or rob them. In mid-July, 45-year-old local resident Yana Ligorkova disappeared from the village. Now Bochkarev will be checked for involvement in her disappearance.

“One of them was only recently released, he is not ours,” local resident Andrei shared with MK. — But the second one — Bochkarev, a local celebrity, always wandered around the village in sweatpants, inadequately, did not work anywhere. He and his friend were probably on drugs again. They suspect that he is also involved in the disappearance of Yana Ligorkova.”
