“The granddaughter passed Tarhov's remains through a meat grinder along with buckwheat”: horrific details of the murder of the former mayor of Samara 0 7

Investigative activities are still ongoing, and more terrifying details of this story are emerging. “The remains of Viktor Tarhov were passed through a meat grinder along with buckwheat... Then all of it was scattered in the trash. I would like to see this meat grinder, but it depends on the condition of the body. If it was doused with nitrogen, then everything becomes very fragile,” experts stated.

The process of murdering Viktor Tarhov and his wife lasted several days — presumably from December 31 to January 3, 2024. It was later revealed that Belskaya purchased kilograms of nitrogen, alkali, and even bought a saw.

“Although the granddaughter claims she is not the murderer, complicity is evident. The grandfather had a birthday in early January, and she was the one responding to congratulations, which is why acquaintances noticed oddities in communication and reported to the police. It is also known that they poisoned the couple with some substances. First, the grandfather died, who was weak after COVID. Then they finished off the grandmother, tying her up so she couldn't reach the phone,” said Oleg Ivanets.

Larisa Pasik, the former mother-in-law of Belskaya, arrived in Samara for the next court session. Her son Vlad was Katya's husband — now the whole family lives in Israel. The ex-spouses have a common son, Maor. Previously, Pasik expressed a desire to take the boy with her to live with his father. But the mother's principled consent is needed, and for now, Maor lives with his godmother — Ekaterina Bratchikova.

The godmother Ekaterina Bratchikova, who currently has Maor, does not mind the boy being raised by his legal father, who is in Israel. “Vlad is his blood — he is his biological father. I cannot decide the child's fate; he has a mother and a father. He has been living with me for 10 months, I handle everything and take him to a private kindergarten. Thank you that at least since August Vlad has started sending money. I spoke with Lyudmila Tarhova (Belskaya's mother, daughter of the murdered Viktor Tarhov) a month ago; she spoke with Maor and said to take care of her grandson,” Bratchikova admitted.
