Beating of a man by teenagers in the San Gali garden
A high-profile event in St. Petersburg this week was the death of a 48-year-old resident of the Nevsky district after being beaten by 15-year-old boys.
In the San Gali garden near Ligovsky Prospekt, the teenagers came into conflict with a man, who was even attacked. The boys punched and kicked the man and then fled.
According to the media, two teenagers participated in the beating of the passer-by and the third filmed what happened with his phone.
The victim called the police and reported the incident. A police team that arrived at the scene found a lifeless body on a bench with traces of bruises.
The suspects were arrested. It turned out that they were two schoolchildren: one was an eighth grader and the other was a ninth grader.
Investigators opened a criminal case under Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (intentional infliction of serious bodily injury, resulting in death due to negligence of the victim) and art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism). An autopsy revealed the cause of death was cardiomyopathy, a heart disease.
A spontaneous monument appeared at the site of the incident: the inscription “To the murdered innocents” was placed on the garden fence and flowers were brought.
“They killed a man, but he didn’t touch them. There should be no such desire to beat someone. What’s more, it’s that simple. Let them go play sports. Even though they are young, they must be punished.”said deputy of the St. Petersburg legislative assembly Pavel Krupnik.
The Smolninsky District Court of St. Petersburg decided to detain the suspects until May 18. The investigation is ongoing.

The characteristics of the cars are similar to the Hyundai Solaris, Hyundai Creta, Kia Rio and Kia Rio X-Line cars previously produced at the plant, so the abbreviations in the model names of the new brand contain references to the previous models.
The cost of the model that is given priority is known: Solaris HS. A model with a manual transmission will cost on average 1.6 million rubles, taking into account the credit and trade-in discount. Exact price depends on configuration and dealer.
