According to reports, the young man was persuaded to commit terrorism and threatened to kill his family.
The body of 18-year-old Petr V. was found on the evening of December 21 near one of the houses on Udaltsov Street. His belongings were on the balcony of the 22nd floor. The student's mother told that he had been texting someone intensively all day and then left the house and turned off the phone.
During the investigation, correspondence was found in Telegram, where unknown persons threatened the teenager, blackmailed him and accused him of extremism.
"It was obvious that Petr was subjected to a mass information attack and refused to carry out the instructions to carry out a terrorist attack," explained the mother of the deceased.
In addition, the fraudsters managed to convince the boy to take several loans. According to preliminary information, he transferred the money to a "safe account". A criminal case has been initiated regarding the incident.
