The Murder of Viktor Solovyov

Moscow, November 12, 2024. A 41-year-old man found dead at his desk. Police closed the case as suicide. Garant-Insurance disagrees.

Official report

November 12, 2024, 03:14. Moscow, Sadovaya-Chernogryazskaya St., Apt. 34.

Found dead in the apartment: Viktor Andreyevich Solovyov, 41. On the desk — a glass with dissolved phenazepam, an empty blister pack, a closed laptop.

The official version — suicide. The case was closed during the preliminary investigation. The widow's statements were not taken seriously — she has a psychiatric diagnosis.

Garant-Insurance JSC initiated an independent investigation before paying out the 12,000,000 ₽ policy. The widow, Marina Solovyova, insists: her husband was murdered.

Your role — independent investigator. Establish the truth. And do not convict an innocent person: there are several red herrings here.

From the inspection report and photo materials

Evidence that starts the investigation

The second glass

Two glasses on the table. One — with the victim's fingerprints. The second — carefully wiped clean. This can't be explained as a coincidence.

Someone else's phone

A neighbour's phone found in the hallway — without a single fingerprint. It was either wiped or handled with gloves.

Camera footage

23:47 — a man in a hoodie enters with a bag. 00:23 — leaves without it. He didn't dial the intercom code — he knew it.
