Kristina Khamraeva and Kirill Ladynsky met on social media in early 2017.

Then they were both 15 years old.

She lived in Moscow, he - in Khabarovsk.

Young people corresponded for a year.

And in 2018, Kirill ran away from home to the capital to see Christina.

As the mother of the teenager Olga Ladynskaya recalls, the son has been repeating since spring that he must certainly get to Moscow.

“We usually went to the capital every summer,” she tells RT.

- But this year it was not possible to go.

Then he took the money he was saving up for a new phone, secretly bought a ticket, and left without telling anyone. " 

According to the mother, her son called her from Moscow on August 24 and asked her not to worry.

“Then every day we communicated with him via video communication, I was worried, but he was calm, adequate.

It can be seen that he did not drink, did not use anything, ”says Olga.

According to the materials of the case (available to RT), Kirill rented an apartment in a house on Bolshaya Filyovskaya Street from the realtor Vasily Pospelov until September 4, having paid 30 thousand rubles.

They did not enter into an agreement. 

Kirill stayed in Moscow for several days and moved out earlier than the agreed time, without warning the owner.

As follows from the testimony of Ladynsky, Christina came to him twice.

The girl's friends were against their relationship, and she decided to break up with him.

On August 27, Ladynsky went to family friends in Korolev, who helped change tickets and return home the next day.

“The child arrived absolutely calm, no bruises, no cut, hands were not shaking, alcohol and cigarettes did not smell,” recalls Olga Ladynskaya.

"The main thing now is not to make it worse"

A month and a half later, on October 11, according to the mother, he and Kirill were summoned to the investigative committee.

“The son was asked about Christina, her circle of contacts, character, his meetings with her.

They wrote down everything and sent us home, - says the woman.

- And the next morning the police came home.

They turned the whole apartment upside down.

They seized the phone, the hard drive and told us to go to the police station. "

Ladynskaya says that in the department her son was immediately taken away for interrogation, but they did not let her in with him - they left her waiting in the corridor.

“They said, mother, you will only interfere with us, wait here,” Olga assures us.

According to her, Kirill was interrogated for about 4 hours without a lawyer and legal representative.

“When I was allowed to see him, I see a child who cannot speak, suffocates.

They tell me he killed the girl, and I fainted, ”recalls Ladynskaya.

She says that the police officers allegedly persuaded her not to call anywhere and not to invite a lawyer so that her confession would be counted.

“Anything can happen, well, he killed and killed, the main thing now is not to make it worse,” - according to Olga, the law enforcement officers tried to convince her.

Then the mother and son were taken to the Investigative Committee, where they recorded Kirill's confession to the murder.

“I was nothing, I fainted, they even called an ambulance for me.

At the same time, one of the operatives made sure that I did not call anywhere, ”says Olga Ladynskaya.

After the confession, Kirill was taken home to get his things, and then he was sent by plane to Moscow, where, according to his mother, they again took testimony from him.

Soon, the media wrote that the alleged schoolgirl was found dismembered, and all the personal data of Cyril and his mother were leaked to the network.

“I lived in a nightmare for a year, even my left hand was taken away.

They write nasty things on the Internet, point fingers on the street, neighbors whisper, strange people walk outside the door, ”Olga complains.

"Stabbed to death"

According to the case file, Ladynsky killed Christina on August 26 at about 15 o'clock in the afternoon.

In his confession (available to RT), which he later refused, Kirill said that Christina told him in an obscene manner that she no longer needed him.

Out of resentment, he stabbed her in the stomach with a knife, with which he cut bread in the kitchen.

This is a small knife with the words "SPETSNAZ" he allegedly bought in Moscow in memory of the trip "instead of a magnet", explained Ladynsky.

Later, as follows from the case file, the knife was found on the street in a sewer during an investigative experiment. 

Christina, who, according to Cyril's testimony, was alive for some time, he put in a bath.

According to the young man, he wanted to call an ambulance, but was afraid that he would be brought to justice.

At the same time, he noted that he did not feel well, he had a headache due to the unpleasant smell that came from the corpse.

“The logic of all murder films boils down to the fact that in these cases it is necessary either to throw the corpse into the car and take it to the forest, or to dismember, since there was no car, the choice was obvious,” says Ladynsky's testimony.

According to him, for this he used the same knife that killed Christina.

Then he describes in great detail, in great detail, how he dismembered the body.

According to his confession, Cyril put things in separate bags, but he could only remember how jeans and a T-shirt looked. 

"I didn't notice the suspicious"

To get rid of the body, Ladynsky, according to the investigation, used handcuffs bought in the "Everything for protection" online store.

The owner of the site, Andrei Galkin, according to the case file, testified that they ordered the goods from Kirill Ladynsky's phone.

However, as he explained during the investigation, he did not consider who exactly bought the handcuffs due to poor eyesight, but "he did not need this, since the transactions go through quickly." 

RT contacted Andrei Galkin, but he refused to talk, saying that investigators had forbidden him to communicate with journalists.

Ladynsky allegedly went down to the supermarket to buy bags and scotch tape.

After dark, he disposed of the body and evidence, scattering everything in trash cans and the surrounding area.

Realtor Vasily Pospelov, who rented out the apartment, did not immediately notice that the tenant had moved out.

According to his testimony, Kirill did not respond to messages dated September 3 asking when the tenant plans to move out. 

“On October 4, I discovered that the door was closed, but Kirill was not there.

The window to the kitchen was opened, and the balcony doors were also opened, in connection with which leaves flew into the apartment, ”the witness testified.

He did not notice anything suspicious - no stains on the sheets or tablecloths, no strange objects.

The only thing left of the guest is the men's underpants, which Pospelov threw away.

RT managed to contact Pospelov, but he said that the whole thing was a long time ago and he no longer remembers anything. 

Olga Zhuravleva, who lives opposite the apartment rented by Kirill, also testified.

In court, she stated that she saw through the peephole how in the evening three girls "dressed like an office" came to the apartment.

She could not name the exact date at the trial, but said that it was "exactly after August 22".

According to a neighbor, Ladinsky opened the door for them, and one girl with glasses, in her opinion, looked like Khamraeva.

“I haven’t heard any noise there.

In the morning I heard that people were coming down the stairs and decided that it was those girls who had left, ”Zhuravleva said in court.

Later, a publication appeared in the media in which Zhuravleva already said that she allegedly saw only two girls leave the apartment, and the third, in her opinion, was strangled by Ladynsky.

He did it quickly and quietly, since she did not hear cries for help.

The court was critical of her testimony, since Zhuravleva could not say with certainty that she saw exactly Khamraeva, and did not name the exact date when it was.

Pospelov himself testified that from 22 to 23 August he rented an apartment to several girls.

"I could not cover my tracks like that"

“When I read these confessions, I myself was amazed, everything is so vividly described there.

But when I began to read, look at the details, a huge number of inconsistencies emerged that ruin the first impression, "Ladynsky's lawyer Vladimir Dyachuk tells RT.

In his opinion, it is incredible that a puny teenager was able to get rid of the body so that there was no evidence left.

Even experienced criminals cannot do this, the lawyer said.

He notes that in the first testimony, Ladynsky said that he thoroughly washed the bathroom using detergents that he found in the apartment and bought in the nearest supermarket.

“They did a DNA examination in the apartment, they didn’t find a drop of blood, not a single trace.

They removed the siphon from the bathroom, there is also nothing there, although the cartilage could get stuck.

The boy could not have gotten rid of the body so professionally, washed everything so that the experts would not find traces, ”the lawyer is sure.

According to the conclusion of the forensic medical examination of Moscow (available to RT), the molecular genetic examination of the flush from the pipe in the bathroom and the hair found in the apartment did not give any results. 

Dyachuk noted that it is practically impossible to get rid of the body so masterly using a folding knife.

“I asked for experts, even a professional pathologist said that he would not have been able to do this - with a small knife, in the bathroom, and not on a flat surface,” says the lawyer.

The defense also considers it an important detail that it can be seen from the bank card that Ladinsky was shopping at Burger King at a time when, according to his own admission, he was disposing of the body.

“Imagine, in the midst of dismemberment, he decides to eat.

He washes in the same bathroom and goes to a cafe, ”the lawyer is amazed.

According to the bank statement at RT's disposal, Kirill Ladynsky's card was actually paid on the day of the alleged murder, on August 26 at 19:16.

Discrepancies also appeared during the investigative experiment.

“He said that he threw one package into the storm sewer.

Shows where, and there is a grate, a special lock, nothing would have crawled through it, ”recalls Dyachuk.

He also clarified that the grill was old, and as Mosvodokanal later confirmed, it was not changed.

"On a formal basis"

At 15:19, from Christina's social media page, her friend Lisa received a message “I'm on the metro”.

At the same time, according to the indictment, in the period from 14:23 to 15:18, Cyril stabbed Christina with a knife.

As Vladimir Dyachuk notes, the investigation made no attempts to find out where Kristina was when this message was sent.

Data from CCTV cameras in the metro were not requested (this is confirmed by the response of the Moscow metro to a lawyer's request, available to RT), and phone billing was not carried out.

“During the trial, I filed a motion to send such requests by the court, but the court refused on the grounds that these requests could be made by the lawyer himself, although the judge was well aware that the lawyer would not receive an answer to his requests, which happened - from There is no answer to this day from mobile operator companies, the Moscow mayor's office redirected the request to another institution (no answer), ”says Dyachuk.

Ladynsky was silent throughout the investigation, while he had an appointed attorney.

Only when his defender changed did he say that he was forced to incriminate himself.

He asked to be given the opportunity to undergo a polygraph test, but was refused.

In December 2019, Ladynsky was sentenced to five years in prison.

The higher instance upheld the court's decision.

However, in June 2021, the cassation court returned the materials of the criminal case to the court of first instance in order to fulfill the requirements of Article 401.7 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. 

“The case was returned on a formal basis, but it seems that the judges simply did not want to take responsibility,” the lawyer said.

"Made out as a monster"

Three years have passed since Ladynsky's arrest.

All this time, his mother writes complaints to the Investigative Committee and the General Prosecutor's Office, so that checks and additional investigation can be carried out on the case.

“He was a house child who is afraid of pain.

And they told him horror what they would do to him in prison if they added an article for rape to the charge.

Therefore, he decided to take over everything, and then he was exposed as a monster, - says Olga Ladynskaya.

- But it is also scary that it is impossible to achieve the truth.

Wherever I wrote, replies come ”. 

Kirill's acquaintances also doubt that he is capable of such a brutal murder.

“He never showed aggression, he was adequate.

He was very calm and when I found out about the murder, I was surprised.

It seems to me that he could not have done this, I just don’t believe in it, ”said his friend Roman Antonov. 

Another friend, Fedya Bybenin, also notes that Kirill was always very calm and open.

“He shared everything, loved animals very much, often joked, and everyone is still shocked by this situation,” he says.

However, Christina's mother has no doubts about Kirill's guilt.

"He killed my daughter, dismembered and tell tales that he may be innocent, this is just the height of arrogance and blasphemy," she told RT. 

RT sent requests to the UK and the Prosecutor General's Office with a request to comment on inconsistencies in the case, which the lawyer points to.

But I received no answer.

At the same time, immediately after the requests were sent, Olga Ladinskaya was summoned to the prosecutor's office and told that her son's case was under special control.

At the same time, according to Ladinskaya, the prosecutor was separately interested in when and with which journalists the woman spoke.
