Brutal Murder of 15-Year-Old During Ritual in Russia: Stepfather Disposes of Body in Well

The body of a 15-year-old boy who went missing on October 8 has been discovered near Ryazan, Russia. The Investigative Committee of Russia has stated that the murder was ritualistic in nature, and a criminal case has been initiated.

According to the committee's data, the boy's stepfather, born in 1969, and his girlfriend, a woman born in 1992, are involved in the disappearance and death of the child.

During questioning, the stepfather explained that the boy was killed by his girlfriend while he sat in the car. He informed investigators that they were preparing for a ritual, at which point the woman took a knife and approached the boy, later returning to tell him that she had killed him. They claimed they did not manage to execute the planned ceremony.

After the murder, the perpetrators took the body to the forest and disposed of it in a well, from which police later recovered it.

Earlier, police reported that traces of blood had been found in the boy’s home and in the car of one of the suspects, his former stepfather.
