The attackers confessed and told the police that they had agreed to meet with the victim in the city in order to return their debt in the amount of 6,000 rubles. After refusing to return the money, the attackers struck the victim several times with their hands and feet on the head and torso, after which they fled the crime scene. A few days later, the applicant went to a medical facility due to poor health. According to the conclusion of the forensic medical examination, the bodily injuries received by the 32-year-old Alushta resident were classified as injuries that caused grievous harm to health.
