TASS reports, “The teenager accused of stabbing a student at a school in the village of Gorki-2 in Odintsovo has been placed under arrest.” On December 18, the Tver Court in Moscow issued a ruling on the matter.
"The court granted the request of the Investigative Committee to place the 15-year-old defendant, charged with 'murder' and 'attempted murder,' in custody for two months," the document stated.
A report by the news agency does not mention a motive.
As a reminder, the 10-year-old Tajik boy, Qobiljon Aliyev, was stabbed to death at his school in by a 15-year-old ninth-grader identified as Timofey K on December 16. The assailant brought a knife to school and also attacked a security guard and other students before being apprehended by police.
Before the bloodshed began, Timofey K. approached a group of children and a teacher at the school and asked about their nationality. He recorded this exchange on his phone and later shared it on Telegram. When a security guard advanced, Timofey K doused him in pepper spray and stabbed the man before chasing Qobiljon Aliyev up the stairs and fatally wounding him.
Russian media have reported that the attack was likely motivated by xenophobia. Just before the incident, the suspect had shared a “manifesto” with other students — a neo-Nazi document titled "My Rage," in which he expressed hostility toward Jews, Muslims, anti-fascists, and liberals.
The Tajik government has publicly demanded an “immediate, objective, and impartial investigation” into the boy’s murder, calling it a crime motivated by national hatred.
