“Marble piece of beef”: it turned out why a Muscovite woman ordered the murder of her son

The mother planned to sell the apartment to pay for the murder of her son

Details have become known about the detention of two accomplices who are suspected of attempting to organize the murder of a 41-year-old car mechanic, part-time son of one of the criminals . The organizer carefully kept secrets and even called the “object” with a special term. As MK learned, most of the encrypted expressions were related to food products: for example, the offspring of a woman in negotiations with the killer appeared as a “marble piece of beef”

As MK learned, law enforcement officers became aware of the malicious intent of the criminals on January 10, when a 51-year-old man contacted the police department. He announced a bloody crime was being prepared, in which the citizen was supposed to act as an intermediary between the “killer” and the “customers.” The man spoke in detail about how pensioners are looking for a killer for the son of one of them. Women are also ready to pay the “executioner” 1 million rubles for the work done.

The criminal investigation department of the South-Eastern District Internal Affairs Directorate, together with the future victim, staged the murder. To ensure the authenticity of the photographs, the car mechanic had to put on makeup and fake a gunshot wound to the head. Having received the photographs, the intermediary in the BMW car handed over to the performer half of the “fee” — 500 thousand rubles. After which she was detained. A little later, law enforcement officers detained the “victim’s” mother herself.

As MK learned, the 68-year-old pensioner had long hated her son, who served more than 10 years for selling and possessing drugs and was only released in the fall of 2023. Even before his arrest, the man was able to save up a tidy sum, which he spent on purchasing several apartments in the capital’s Pechatniki district. He transferred all his property to his mother, whom he trusted very much. While her son was serving his sentence, the woman secretly began to slowly sell the apartments she had bought, enriching herself by a total of 40 million rubles. The released man was very angry with his mother. He tried to resolve the conflict peacefully, but the relatives did not even let the man enter the apartment. His mother and sister wrote statements to the police about threats from him and complained about him to the district police officer, sometimes without reason.

His mother told her long-time friend, who is 17 years younger than her, about the quarrels with her son (the women had previously met at the market at the meat counter). As a result, two insidious individuals came to the conclusion that for a certain amount they could illegally get rid of the culprit of all family troubles. The mother decided to sell another apartment of her son in order to spend the proceeds to pay for the crime (6 million rubles were planned to be paid to a friend for her troubles, and 1 million rubles to the killer). The friend quickly found a person who, in her opinion, could organize the murder. The woman repeatedly met with the man, putting emotional pressure on him to find an “executioner” for the “marble piece of beef” as soon as possible (as the customers called the victim among themselves). The man had to report the execution of the order in two words: “the banana is delicious.” The intermediary decided to contact the police.

As Yulia Ivanova, senior assistant to the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee for the capital, reported, in the near future the investigation intends to petition for the election of a preventive measure in the form of detention against the defendants.
