The Fire

In the early morning of April 10, rescuers were slocking the fire in a private house in Cherykau. They found inside the dead owner of the house, a defectology teacher at the local school. The woman was all covered with cuts. Someone was trying to hide the crime with the help of the fire. Later it turned out that the food and computer had been stolen from the house.

Later, the police found the teacher's belongings in the house, where two brothers, 18-year-old Stanislau and 20-year-old Illia Kostseu, lived. Once they studied at the school where Natallia worked and had a criminal record for theft. The brothers confessed to the murder on the same day and explained why they had done it.

The IC then reported on some of the results of the first interrogations. The guys said: earlier, the teacher had told the police that their older sister didn't look after her children well. (The houses of the teacher and the sister are nearby.) As a result, the family was recognized as one in a socially dangerous situation. Having drunk, the Kostseus went to sort things out in the middle of the night. When Natallia opened the door, they started to beat her. Then - to cut. (Subsequently, the experts found over 140 stab wounds.)

After making sure that the teacher was dead, they took the groceries, the computer, set the house on fire and ran away. The knife was thrown into the river, ater it was found by divers.
