believe the killing is connected to the man’s business activities.

The Investigations Committee press service said a masked man had
attacked a 50-year-old man at the entrance to Lotte Plaza Hotel in
Moscow’s Novinsky Boulevard, inflicting numerous stab wounds on him
and leaving the crime scene in a car.
A criminal case has been opened based on Article 105 of the Russian
