Police have traced down the two suspects and uncovered more scurrilous doings. Followup, quoted bit from the _Guardian_ (UK): > [@](#): > > On Tuesday, investigators said they raided an apartment belonging to the suspect and discovered a pensioner handcuffed to a bedpost. The man told police that he was being held against his will and pressured to sign over his Moscow apartment… > > …The pensioner was later identified by Russian state media as Alexei Zavgorodniy, a lawyer best known for representing a notorious mafia hitman in the 1990s. The contract killer, Alexander Solonik, was better known as Sasha the Macedonian for his superior marksmanship with pistols in both hands (known as “Macedonian style” in Russian). Solonik was tied to dozens of killings and had escaped from prison three times before he was strangled to death by another notorious hitman, Alexander Pustovalov. Holy crap. I can almost hear Guy Ritchie pounding away at his next screenplay… ---

That would make an excellent movie! Ruskies seriously need more first names, though. That’s a lotta Alexanders for one tale. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russian-oligarch-nicknamed-sausage-king-killed-in-sauna-with-crossbow/924555.md?page=1)
