As reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Odessa region, a 45-year-old man who has already spent 13 years in prison for serious crimes was detained on suspicion of murder.
"The investigation established that the man knew the hotel director and came to him at work to borrow money. During their conversation, a conflict arose. The men were in a back office, where a knife lay on a table. The attacker used it as leverage, stabbing his acquaintance three times. A security guard attempted to intervene. However, his attempt to protect the director resulted in his fatal injury. The attacker abandoned the murder weapon at the scene and fled," the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.
“I asked to borrow money. He started beating me. The guard came running. I don’t know how I grabbed the knife. He broke free and ran away. In the morning I learned that people had died. What happened happened. “I didn’t do it on purpose,” said the detainee, emphasizing that he regrets what happened.
It should be noted that various versions of the crime appeared in the local media. According to one of them, the hotel director was killed in order to put pressure on famous businessmen Kaufman and Granovsky, whose team included the deceased, and who own not only Passage, but also the lion’s share of Odessa International Airport LLC. According to another, the meeting was an “arrow” that did not go according to plan.
