For the accused of the resonant murder of a Voronezh private detective Viktor Kusov, 11 years in prison were requested ...

IN The Lenin district court of Voronezh held a debate between the parties on the high-profile case of the murder of one of the founders of the Boomerang security company and private detective Viktor Kusov.

During the meeting, the state prosecution requested for the accused, the business partner of the murdered Alexander Goncharov, 11 years in prison in a maximum security colony, Vesti Voronezh reports. He is accused of murder and illegal possession of weapons.

Goncharov does not admit his guilt, considering the incident a necessary self-defense. According to the defense, Goncharov fired 4 shots at a colleague from his own pistol, fearing a grenade explosion, which Kusov threatened him with. The defense insists that the death of a colleague did not bring any benefit to Goncharov, but rather the opposite. Kusov’s business share went to his children, and the accused has been in jail for 2 years now.

The prosecution insists that the defendant planted a grenade in Kusov’s hands after the murder. It is noted that otherwise, the grenade was supposed to fall from the hands of the murdered and explode. In addition, prosecutors point out that after Kusov’s attempt on him in 2001, his right hand worked poorly and he couldn’t be able to quickly pull out a grenade check.

Traces of both colleagues were found on the pistol, only Kusova on the grenade. Numerous examinations equally confirm the versions of both the charges and the defense.

The next hearing is scheduled for July 20. On it, Goncharov will deliver the last word. After the conclusion of the debate, the judge will retire to the deliberation room for sentencing.

• The Investigative Committee of Russia for the Voronezh Region completed an investigation into the murder of Viktor Kusov in October 2017. Then the case was referred to the court for consideration on the merits.
  
  
• In the 90s, Kusov and Goncharov worked together in the regional department for the fight against organized crime (RUBOP) of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Voronezh Region. Having left the organs, they founded the private security company “Security Center“ Boomerang ”. Viktor Kusov owned 40% of the private security company, Alexander Goncharov owned 51%, and another 9% was controlled by Yuri Tretyakov. In 2015, the company’s situation worsened, the defendant suggested Kusov go out of business, but he refused.
  
  
• The tragedy occurred on the morning of June 13, 2016. On that day, Kusov and Goncharov crossed paths in the common kitchen of a security organization at 23 Donbasskaya Street. According to investigators, the defendant shot Makarov with a pistol 4 times at a partner. According to the conclusion of the forensic expert, Kusov’s death came from gunshot wounds to the chest with damage to the heart, aorta and left lung, which were complicated by blood loss.

Shots in the back or self-defense? In Voronezh for the murder of a private detective Kusov asked 11 years

07/12/2018

16:00

In the debate, opposing versions were made by the prosecution and defense.
In the Voronezh court, in the debate on the high-profile case of the murder of private detective Viktor Kusov, charges and defense were made. Former security officer in June 2016 was shot dead by ex-policeman Alexander Goncharov after a protracted conflict over the division of the business.

According to the prosecution, the family and friends of Viktor Kusov, Alexander Goncharov killed in cold blood, shot in the back. Then he threw a grenade into Kusov’s hand in order to stage self-defense. According to the defense, Alexander Goncharov shot a former friend four times to avoid a grenade explosion. After two years of investigation and trial, both versions turned out to be quite viable. And to the end it is not clear what really happened.

The judge will not only have to evaluate the evidence, but decide which of the ex-policemen behaved contrary to logic and common sense. The ups and downs of the resonance case were dealt with by the Vesti-Voronezh correspondent.

Conflict history
Viktor Kusov and Alexander Goncharov have known each other since the 90s; they served together in the RUBOP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Kusov headed the department to combat organized crime, Goncharov led the department to combat corruption. The policemen talked, were friends of families. After retiring, Viktor Kusov was the first in Voronezh to receive a private detective license. Around the same time, Goncharov and Kusov became co-owners of the private security company Boomerang. The organization leased space at the fair on Donbasskaya, guarded it and several other facilities, contained LLC "Center for Slavic Culture" House of Svarog.

Disagreement began in the spring of 2015, when Goncharov invited Kusov to leave the business. Things went worse, several customers refused the services of PSC “Boomerang”. Goncharov explained the troubles to Kusov's "bad reputation", who was considered to be associated with crime. In response, Kusov began to check accounting and documents, suspecting the partner of the withdrawal of funds. A private investigator insisted on an audit to evaluate the assets. Kusov demanded the division of all real estate in half, which greatly outraged Goncharov. He was especially upset by the need to share the premises and property of the museum, the exhibits of which Goncharov had been collecting for a long time.

All conversations between the co-owners ended in scandals. Charter, both of them delegated negotiations on the division of property to their daughters, but the tension continued.

Kill day
Charge version

Speaking in the debate, State Prosecutor Natalya Kuznetsova outlined the events of June 13, 2016 in the office of the private security company Boomerang on Donbasskaya Street. In the morning, Viktor Kusov came there, who immediately went to the kitchen. He greeted Alexander Goncharov and director Sergei Baskov.

When Baskov left for his workplace, Goncharov had a criminal intent to kill Kusov. The ex-policeman went to the kitchen, where he shot Viktor Kusov.

The first two shots hit Viktor Kusov in the back - hit the lung and chest. Presumably, Kusov stood sideways to Goncharov and did not expect that he would get a gun. A third bullet hit a person’s stomach when it fell. For the fourth time, Goncharov fired when Kusov was already lying - the bullet passed along the tangent. The first two shots became fatal. Kusov died of through wounds of the chest - the heart and lung, complicated by acute blood loss.

Alexander Goncharov was accused of murder, illegal possession of a Makarov pistol of 1967 and its cartridges. The state prosecutor asked the court to convict him and appoint 11 years in a maximum security colony.

Victim Yulia Kusova, daughter of the deceased detective, asked for “the most severe punishment” for the “cold-blooded” murder of her father. For two years, Goncharova did not apologize to her family, does not regret and does not repent of what happened, according to the victims.

Protection version

Lawyers of Alexander Goncharov asked him to be acquitted, since he "acted within the necessary defense." The ex-policeman does not deny that he shot Viktor Kusov. He believes that there was no other choice. What was discussed in detail in the debate by the four lawyers of the defendant, who spoke in total for more than five hours.

According to the defense, Alexander Goncharov went into the kitchen to leave a dirty rag and saw Viktor Kusov’s pistol on the countertop. Fearing for his life, Goncharov grabbed a weapon and began to consider, thinking it was a traumatic gun. Viktor Kusov said nothing, did not try to take away the weapon.

Raising his head from the pistol, Goncharov saw Kusov’s grenade in his hands, from which he pulled out a check with both hands. Therefore, Goncharov shot twice at Kusov. But he continued to try to detonate the ammunition. Therefore, Goncharov pulled the trigger twice more.

Lawyers believe that Alexander Goncharov shot, as there was a real threat, and the law gives him the right to protect his life.

Confrontation between the parties
About pistol and DNA traces

The parties devoted most of their speeches to the analysis of forensic medical examinations. It's about traces of the DNA of Alexander Goncharov on weapons and ammunition. So, only DNA of Alexander Goncharov was found inside Makarov’s pistol, the prosecution noted.

On the handle of the murder weapon traces of potogoir and Goncharov and Kusov were found, in turn, the lawyer Vladimir Komarov drew attention. He noted that, taking the version of the murder, the court will have to explain where Kusov’s DNA appeared on the gun. Komarov also emphasized that there were no traces of Goncharov on the grenade - only Kusov’s DNA and an explosive technician who had taken the ammunition from the hand of the killed man.

According to the defense, the accusation of Alexander Goncharov of illegal possession of weapons has not been proved in any way.

After all, the investigation failed to establish where the 1967 Makarov pistol came from in the kitchen of the PSC office. As for the 30 rounds found for him, two of them found the DNA of Alexander Goncharov. Attorney Svetlana Mekeda explained their appearance by falsifying evidence. She believes that Goncharov’s biological traces on cartridges could be transferred by security officials from tampons with the washings of the suspect’s hands. They did this in order to “secure a charge of intentional murder.”

About the hands of the murdered

Natalia Kuznetsova in the debate reminded the court of the most important of the evidence - the presence of traces of gunpowder on both hands of Viktor Kusov, including in the palm of his hand, in which he found a grenade.

- At that moment when shots were fired, Kusov did not have grenades in his hands. An examination indicates that a shot product is on his left hand. It is even less on the right hand than on the left. This indicates that at the time of the shot his hands were in contact with powder gases, ”said Natalya Kuznetsova.

If at the time of the shots a grenade was held in Viktor Kusov’s hands, there would be no products of a shot on his hands, the prosecution believes. The defense opposes that the gunpowder in the palm of the murdered person could be when he loaded the gun. What completely “lays down” in their version of the necessary defense.

As for the traces of Viktor Kusov’s DNA on the hilt, the victims believe that to pretend to defend himself, Alexander Goncharov could put a gun to the victim’s hand and put a grenade with a rag or gloves. Moreover, on Kusov’s clothes, experts found myrrh fiber from Goncharov’s belongings.

According to lawyer Vladimir Komarov, there was no time for these manipulations. Victims and friends of Viktor Kusov think differently - on the recording of the surveillance camera from the corridor it is clear that Goncharov went into the kitchen several times after the murder before the arrival of the security forces and explosives. At this time, he could do everything necessary for the stage.

“If Kusov had intended to detonate the ammunition, he would have managed to pull out the check.” Again, the grenade, as experts pointed out, was supposed to fall out of Kusov’s hand when it fell and explode, which did not happen, the state prosecutor noted in her speech.

A serious stumbling block was the discussion of whether or not Viktor Kusov could blow up a grenade at all. According to the family and friends of the deceased detective, Viktor Kusov's right hand motility was impaired after the 2002 assassination attempt. Then his car was shot by a gang of Sailor. Due to the injury, the hand worked poorly, and Kusov could not pull out the check with force, the victims are sure.

About the value of expertise

Both private detective Viktor Kusov and avid hunter Alexander Goncharov were armed with “you”. Lawyers themselves said that in the years of friendship, Goncharov “shot” Kusov’s pistols at his request.

Due to the specifics in the office of the private security company Boomerang, pistols, rifles, and cartridges were not unusual, although the defense claims that Alexander Goncharov was categorically against weapons in the office. The murder did not happen in a “clean”, random room - Goncharov and Kusov worked there side by side for many years.

Therefore, research on DNA, the accessory of weapons, purely in the human, and not legal terms, do not have serious weight. Judge Alexander Kuryanov will undoubtedly appreciate the evidence, which, in fact, does not refute either of the two versions. But more, it seems, the judge will have to be a psychologist when pronouncing the sentence.

The Psychology of Murder
Judge Alexander Kuryanov will have to figure out and understand whose behavior was contrary to logic and common sense. In the version of the necessary defense, Viktor Kusov appears as a real kamikaze; in the version of the murder, Alexander Goncharov looks like that. Which of them clouded his mind?

The image of Victor Kusov

In their speeches, lawyers created the demonic image of Victor Kusov, calling him a person who is well acquainted with the "rules of the criminal world." A person who does not know how to lose, is capable of much to achieve his goals, an excellent strategist and tactician. This is how the lawyer Vera Goncharova, defending her father, described a private detective. She called the grenade a “provocation”, which Viktor Kusov wanted to use as the last argument in the dispute. At the same time, Viktor Kusov, in the descriptions of the witnesses who were selected for the debate by the defenders, appeared to be a deeply ill person who supposedly had nothing to lose.

The prosecution had a different opinion. Natalya Kuznetsova, referring to the testimonies of the victims and friends of the detective, called the private detective "a cheerful person." Yes, Kusov was used to risk, miraculously survived four serious assassination attempts. In 2009, the ex-policeman was able to defeat a serious illness. After all the trials, Viktor Kusov began to appreciate life even more, the opportunity to be near his loved ones. He raised four children - two daughters and two sons. The youngest daughter, Nadia, was born after a detective wounded by a gang of Sailor was barely saved.

- Victor Kusov has more than once admitted to his relatives that he wants more than anything else to live until the wedding of his youngest daughter. He said that it’s bad when there is no father at the wedding, - said Natalya Kuznetsova, emphasizing that the detective had no intention of committing suicide. - Kusov, by virtue of his life experience, had an understanding of what a grenade is, what a damaging effect it has. An explosion of a grenade would inevitably lead to his death too.

The image of Alexander Goncharov

Natalia Kuznetsova noted that Alexander Goncharov, who was stumped, was “driven by emotions and anger”. By the way, the characteristics of the owner of a private security company on the part of friends are very similar to those given to Viktor Kusov. Alexander Goncharov in their descriptions was also stubborn and adamant. He was also called a man who does not know how to concede and lose.

The state prosecution considered the position of Alexander Goncharov - a way to avoid responsibility for a serious crime. However, in his behavior, if he intentionally killed Viktor Kusov, there is no logic.

As lawyer Svetlana Mekeda noted, Alexander Goncharov had no motive to kill Viktor Kusov. The investigators could not find any selfish interest in Goncharov, although, of course, the division of property became the indirect cause of the tragedy.

As Mekeda noted, the situation of Goncharov in the event of the death of Kusov did not improve in any way - rather, on the contrary. Kusov's share passed to his heirs, and now it must be divided with them into a larger number of parts. Goncharov, however, was deprived of his freedom, has been in a pre-trial detention center for two years now, has no opportunity to conduct business, to be with his family.

However, as experienced law enforcement officers say, almost every murder is difficult to subordinate to logic and common sense. In most cases, these are outbreaks of aggression, a way to give vent to negative emotions, and there - whatever happens.

Judge Alexander Kuryanov has a difficult task to solve - to answer the question which of his opponents has changed his composure, who really lost their nerves. He will be able to do this after speaking in the debate and the last word of Alexander Goncharov, who asked the court for time to prepare.

It is expected that at the next meeting the debate will end and Alexander Kuryanov will leave for the deliberation room to pronounce the verdict. Its announcement may take place at the end of July.

Shots in the back or self-defense? In Voronezh for the murder of detective Kusov asked 11 years

The Leninsky District Court, during a six-hour marathon, nevertheless made a decision in the case of the murder of private detective Viktor Kusov.

Judge Alexander Kuryanov did not object to the proposal by the representative of the prosecutor's office to convict the business partner of the deceased detective accused of crime for 11 years in a maximum security colony. As a result, just so much a man will spend in places not so remote. Which, given his respectful summers, is close to a life sentence. In addition, the accused of the murder will have to pay two million rubles in compensation for moral damage to Kusov’s daughter.

It is possible that the judge’s verdict was influenced by the fact that, in fact, the man refused the last opportunity to present arguments in his favor during the last word . He limited himself to stating: "I am not guilty."

Most likely, the defense will exercise the right to appeal the verdict. To this she has ten days prescribed by law.

Recall, according to the investigation, Viktor Kusov received four mortal wounds from a Makarov pistol June 13, 2016 at the office in the building of the Yarmarka shopping center on Donbasskaya street.

A man accused of murder during the preliminary investigation claimed that in recent years Kusov has become a very nervous person, from whom you could expect anything. Therefore, allegedly, seeing a grenade in his hands, he grabbed a gun lying on the table and started firing. At the same time, he said, he thought he had opened fire from injuries. And only then I realized my mistake.

According to investigators, the business partner intentionally shot Kusov, and then presented the case as if the detective threatened him with a grenade. According to them, the fatal "disassembly" occurred due to the fact that the killer and his victim did not share the money when sharing shares in a joint business.

Viktor Kusov was a kind of commissar for Cattani of the Voronezh bottling. A lot of attempts were made on him. Kusov’s car was shot by members of a bandit group named “Sailor” in 2002 (subsequently, the head of the gang received a life sentence). Then the detective was injured, but he was saved. After they threw a grenade at him and mined the car, but Kusov miraculously escaped.

After the death of a private detective, four children were left without a father.
