Russian media reported that the victim refused to pay the suspect for services. On the basis of this, a conflict arose, because of which the suspect killed a Russian scientist.
Andrey Botikov, one of the creators of the Russian coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V, was killed by a lover whom the victim called to her home. This was reported by the Russian Telegram channel 112
It is reported that the killer is a certain Aleksey, who had previously served 10 years in prison for kidnapping, and after he was released, he began to provide services of an intimate nature. He came to the victim with a girlfriend, whom he left in the entrance to wait.
The channel writes that after receiving sexual services from Alexei, Botikov refused to pay him. It was then that the suspect decided to strangle the Russian scientist. Then he finished him off with a knife. After the massacre, the suspect took valuables and fled the scene of the crime with his girlfriend. He told her what he had done, but she did not report it to the police.
The next day, colleagues noticed that Andrei Botikov did not come to work in the laboratory. They decided to contact the police, who found the victim’s body in his own apartment. The suspect Alexei was also promptly detained.

Recall that the Russian media have already reported on the murder of Botikov. Officially, the name of the victim is not known, but one of the sources stated bluntly that Andrei Botikov, one of the creators of the Sputnik V vaccine, born in 1974, was killed as a result of a domestic quarrel.
The Investigative Committee also confirmed that on March 2, a 29-year-old man quarreled with the owner of an apartment on Rogova Street, and then strangled him with a belt.
The Russian Federation also reported that a shadow banker and ex-adviser to Kadyrov died in Moscow “under strange circumstances”. Pyotr Chuvilin was privy to where the leaders of Chechnya and high-ranking Russian security officials hide shadow capital. Some of this information he gave investigators.
