The media reported that an assassin of St. Petersburg State University Oleg Sokolov is suspected of murder. Presumably, his victim is a 24-year-old girl who studied with a historian and was a co-author of several of his scientific works.
Later, lawyer Alexander Pochuev said that Sokolov confessed to the murder of the girl and issued a confession.
