A woman was killed and three people, including a 7-year-old girl, were hospitalized with stab wounds in a Tuesday evening attack in the Krasnodar region, which was rocked by the murder of 12 people in a home last month, Interfax reported.
The attack was likely carried out by the unidentified ex-boyfriend of one of the survivors, 23-year-old Yulia Abramenko, said a spokesman for the local branch of the Investigative Committee.
The assailant killed Natalia Yeryomenko, 20, and injured Abramenko’s friend, Andrei Voropayev, 23, as well as her daughter, whose name was withheld. The victims were visiting Abramenko’s house in the town of Slavyansk-on-Kuban when the incident took place, the spokesman said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
