Residents of central Tbilisi spoke about the conflict that preceded the murder of the Russian.
The body of a 40-year-old citizen of Russia was discovered by passersby this morning at dawn in the park near the Baratasvili monument in the center of Tbilisi. The murder was preceded by a conflict in a supermarket, and the location where the body was found is not equipped with surveillance cameras.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the body of Abkhaz blogger Daur Buava, who was accused in Abkhazia of treason, was found in a residential apartment in Tbilisi. An investigation is underway under the article "driving to suicide".
The body of the Russian was found at dawn
The body of a citizen of Russia was discovered by passersby at dawn. According to preliminary data, he suffered several stab wounds, reports the television company "Pirveli".
The conflict started in the "Spar" store, and after that they went towards Baratasvili. The cameras here are not working anywhere.
According to local residents, shortly before the murder, the Russian had a conflict in one of the supermarkets. Presumably, after the quarrel, several men continued to settle their differences on the street. This version has not yet been officially confirmed.
The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, stated that the spread of messages about allegedly hostile attitudes towards Russian tourists is sabotage against their own country, effectively placing the responsibility for the campaign to discredit the country's tourism sector on internal critics of the government.
"The conflict started in the "Spar" store, and after that they went towards Baratasvili. The cameras here are not working anywhere, and it has not been possible to establish what happened and under what circumstances. I live here, but there were no sounds of conflict," a local resident said.
The cameras did not record what happened
It is noted that the park where the murder took place is not equipped with surveillance cameras. Based on this, the question arises as to how the investigation will be able to identify the criminal, the television channel reports.
It is known that the man entered Georgia on August 26. The purpose of his visit at this stage is unknown.
Experts from the forensic department are working at the scene, and the entire park is cordoned off by the police. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has opened a criminal case under Article 108 of the Criminal Code of Georgia - intentional murder. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia has not yet reported on the detention of suspects or the establishment of their identities.
It is worth recalling that the attack by a resident of Georgia, Georgy Chigladze, on a Russian-speaking tourist caused a resonance on social media. According to one of the participants in the incident, the investigation confirmed that the girls did not splash water on the wedding guests, did not insult them, and did not damage the equipment. By August 3, the Russian citizen who was hit by Chigladze left Georgia with her friends. On August 4, Georgy Chigladze's lawyer published footage from the hotel cameras in Telavi. The video confirms that water was splashed on the wedding participants. Back in July, AI-generated images featuring Mikhail Saakashvili and Georgy Chigladze circulated online, as noted by the fact-checking portal "Detector of Myths".
Georgian police stated that Chigladze attacked the tourist due to insults directed at the wedding participants. The friend of the victim claims that the conflict arose because of the Russian language. The court in Telavi released Chigladze on bail. In court, he stated that he regrets what happened. The victim herself stated that they did not provoke the wedding participants.
