MOSCOW, December 27 (RIA Novosti) – A manager at a chemical research company was shot dead in a Moscow suburb, investigators said on Friday.
“From what we can tell so far, the man was returning home from a corporate party. He walked with a co-worker, who was also his neighbor, to his house and was on his way to his own home when the murderer shot him,” a representative of the Moscow regional Investigative Committee said.
The victim, named as Yevgeny Ivanov, was the assistant director of the company in the town of Sergiev Posad. He was shot in the stomach, the representative said.
The company Ivanov worked for as a safety manager developed chemicals for use in personal weapons, according to Russian media reports.
Investigators have not said who may have been responsible for the crime or cited a possible motive.
