Nationalist Maksim Martsinkevich, also known as Tesak, wrote a statement before his death, in which he confessed to the murders of guest workers in early 2003. In addition, he indicated the names of his accomplices and described in detail the role of each of them. The photo of the statement was published on October 16 by the channel REN TV…
In the statement, Tesak points out that Andrey Kail, Alexander Lysenkov, Maxim Khotulev, Pavel Khrulev, Alexey Guddilin and Semyon Tokmakov, as well as Artem Kostlev, Tesak’s associate who died in 2020, were involved in the murders.
Companions of Martsinkevich are accused of committing by an organized group of murders of two or more persons motivated by national hatred and enmity. In the statements, Tesak tells how they found victims on the Moscow Ring Road and invited them to make repairs in one of the gardening associations.
The workers were brought to the house where the murder was committed. After those killed, they were buried in the same house.
“The house had no floor, doors or walls. As far as I remember, the house had two rooms. In the far room, Lysenkov and I carried a tied man with a sealed mouth and laid him face down on the beams. Lysenkov cut off his head with a prepared ax. How many blows I do not remember, I chopped from behind … After that I took the head and put it in a bag. Then, in the same way, Kostylev cut off the head of the second man. I also put it in a bag, ”- follows from the confession that Tesak wrote.
In December 2018, the Babushkinsky Court of Moscow found Martsinkevich guilty of inciting hatred and enmity, robbery and hooliganism. He was sentenced to 10 years in a strict regime colony. In May 2019, the Moscow City Court recognized the verdict as legal.
In September 2020, 36-year-old Tesak was found dead in a solitary confinement cell in Chelyabinsk. According to the official version, he committed suicide.
In October of the same year, REN TV acquired an independent examination of Martsinkevich’s body, which was carried out by a specialist of the LLC Forensic Medical Expert, doctor Elena Kuchina at the request of the lawyer of the nationalist’s family, Aleksey Mikhalchik. According to the document, Martsinkevich could not independently inflict the injuries that were found on his body.
In addition, three suicide notes were found, where Martsinkevich denied his guilt and wrote that he was “broken” in a colony in Krasnoyarsk.
