“He began to punch and kick her outside the house. He continued to attack her inside the house. He grabbed her by the hair, hit her, pushed her out into the street, where he also continued to strike her body and head.”
When she appeared lifeless ‘he dumped her into a nearby ravine’.
Petrushin added thatDolgikh confessed to the killing
“He beat her for a long time, in front of witnesses, and struck her vital organs – in the torso and head,’ he told journalists. ‘He fully admitted guilt during the investigation.
“As for repentance…. I cannot comment. I personally do not believe he repented.
In a state of alcoholic intoxication, due to jealousy, he developed a hostile attitude towards his wife. He was jealous of one of the guests. It seemed to her husband that she behaved incorrectly, which caused a scandal.”
About the bride being aware of Dolgikh’s dark past, Petrushin said:
“The deceased woman knew about his criminal record,’ said Petrushin. ‘They met while he was serving a sentence in prison for previous crimes.”
He added:
“She did not think that while drinking alcohol or just in a fit of anger, a person like this may go over the limit and commit a serious crime.”
