The court arrested Mikhail Tuvatin, a suspect in the murder of nine-year-old Lisa Kiseleva in Saratov. This was reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Saratov Region.

“The investigating authority before the court filed a motion to select the suspect a preventive measure in the form of detention. Having examined the petition and the materials presented by the investigation by the Investigative Committee, the court agreed with the arguments of the investigating authority, choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention in respect of the suspect, ”the statement said.

Recall that on the morning of October 9, the schoolgirl left the house and went to classes, but she did not appear in the building of the educational institution. On the same day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and volunteers of the Lisa Alert detachment began searching for the missing person. In addition, a criminal case was opened on the grounds of a crime under subsection “c” of Part 2 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code ("The murder of a minor"). Kiseleva’s body was found in one of the garage boxes at about 1 a.m. on October 11.

On the same day, investigators identified the person who could be involved in the murder of the girl. As a result, a local resident, 35-year-old Mikhail Tuvatin, was detained. Previously, he was already convicted: from 2008 to 2010 he was serving a sentence in a colony for theft, and in April 2011 he was sentenced to six and a half years for robbery and rape.

During the interrogation, the man confessed. In addition, it was found that recently the man hasn’t worked anywhere, from time to time he “worked” at a construction site and intended to buy a new car - Daewoo Nexia.

“A few months ago, he noticed an old abandoned garage, changed the castle there and arbitrarily took possession of it. On October 9, while the victim was in the garage, a victim passed by. She asked if it was his garage. The man suggested that the property may belong to a minor family. Frightened by the revelations, he dragged the girl into the garage and committed her murder, ”said the official representative of the Investigative Committee Svetlana Petrenko.

The ministry also emphasized that it had adopted a “comprehensive set of measures for a full, objective and impartial investigation” of the crime and to bring the attacker to strict liability under the law.

Various characteristics

At the same time, the FSIN gave a negative characteristic to the suspect in the murder of a girl in Saratov. According to the deputy head of the service Valery Maksimenko, the man "is prone to deception, cunning and dangerous, needs control."

“This man is not simple - he is aware of everything, but he is attracted to crimes. Psychological tests showed that he was fixated on sexual topics, everything rests against him, ”Maksimenko quotes the Moscow Talking radio station.

Olga Tuvatina, the mother of the murder suspect, does not believe that her son has committed a crime. She described him as "a wonderful, kind, intelligent and hardworking person."

At the same time, Mikhail Tuvatin’s father said that he was not connected with the suspect in any way. He also emphasized that he had long been out of contact with his wife and son.

“No, I’m already shaking everything. He’s nobody to me, and I can’t say anything about him, because I don’t know him, I didn’t communicate with him. When he left the prison for the last time, he came, sat for five minutes and left, ”the Zvezda channel quotes the man.

About child safety

On Saturday, October 12, the Lisa Alert search squad published a memo on how to ensure the safety of a child on the street, in public places and when communicating with strangers.

“Of course, it is impossible to foresee everything in order to avoid a tragedy, but by observing simple safety rules, you can reduce the risk to a minimum. We really want these tragedies to no longer be repeated, therefore we again draw your attention to the basic rules, ”the volunteer association said in a statement.

The instruction consists of five points - “Do not let the child go alone”, “Teach the child to behave properly with strangers”, “Build the child’s routes so that there are no dangerous objects along the way”, “Teach the child to tell you when he leaves school, came home or to a friend ”,“ Do not be afraid to involve as many people as possible in your searches. ”

Along with this, the mother of the deceased, Elena Kiselyova, demanded that the Saratov authorities organize a safe approach to school.

“She demanded a good lighted road with cameras and a high fence from the garages,” she told RT after meeting with the Governor of the Saratov Region Valery Radaev and Mayor Mikhail Isaev.

The issue of the death penalty

After the tragedy, a number of members of the State Duma advocated the return of the death penalty. In particular, according to the head of the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, “most citizens in Russia want this.” At the same time, a poll appeared on the lower house of parliament’s page on the VKontakte social network about the possibility of returning such a measure of punishment; more than 100 thousand users have already taken part in it.

At the same time, the aunt of the murdered girl, Irina Kulyasova, spoke in an interview with RT against lifting the current moratorium. She also thanked people for their incredible responsiveness and cohesion.

“Probably for life, yes. About the death penalty, for this case to become a precedent, I probably would not want to. As many now write “death is for the death of a child,” we would not want this, ”the woman said.

In addition, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the Kremlin does not discuss the possibility of returning the death penalty to Russian law.

“This issue is not being discussed,” TASS quoted him.

On October 11, in the church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Satisfy My Sorrows”, a civil funeral service was held for Lisa Kiseleva. On Sunday, October 13, at 11:30 (10:30 Moscow time) in the church of the Supreme Apostles Peter and Paul, a farewell ceremony will take place with the child.
