Video of the murder of his colleague in the Moscow department of private security by an employee of the Russian Guard. The surveillance camera recorded the moment when the police officer raised his service weapon to his colleague’s head and fired; there were witnesses in the room. The murder occurred on October 18, and law enforcement initially claimed it was unintentional. We'll tell you what we know about the incident right now.
On October 18, police sergeant and Russian Guard soldier Sergei Ruchkin killed his colleague, senior sergeant Nikita Pavlutin. The incident occurred around 20:10 in the armory room of the private security department of the National Guard on Kuskovskaya Street in Moscow. The surveillance video, which was published on the evening of October 19 by the 360 TV channel, shows a man in a police uniform putting a gun to his colleague’s temple and shooting; the colleague falls to the floor. The employees in the room turn around at the sound of the shot and look at the lying man. Pavlutin was hospitalized; he died from his wound.
At first, law enforcement agencies saidthat Ruchkin accidentally shot Pavlutin. On the morning of October 19, a source from the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper said that the sergeant violated the procedure for unloading weapons, which is why the shot occurred. Later, this information was confirmed by the representative of the Main Investigation Department of the RF Investigative Committee for Moscow, Yulia Ivanova. The recording shows that Ruchkin most likely acted deliberately. A criminal case has been initiated into the incident under Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Murder”).
Ruchkin will be tested for sanity. This was reported by an anonymous source in law enforcement agencies.
“A forensic psychiatric examination will be scheduled in the near future. It will also be checked whether he used alcohol or drugs,”- he said.
In addition, the leaders of the unit in which Ruchkin serves will be punished - the information center of the Russian Guard reports this. They did not specify whether the shooting fighter was fired.
26-year-old Sergei Ruchkin works not only in the Russian Guard, but alsoDJ in clubs near Moscow. Judging by the photographs on his VKontakte page, the man has been doing this since at least 2010; the account itself is almost entirely dedicated to club life. Ruchkin has been working in law enforcement since November 2014, in private security since May 2016, and was characterized positively in his service. Ruchkin graduated from the Russian International Academy of Tourism.
Nikita Pavlutin was 27 years old, he served in law enforcement for seven years. Since March 1, 2016, he held the position of police officer - company driver in the third separate battalion of the interdistrict department of private security in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow (now the department belongs to the Russian Guard). He is survived by his wife and two children.
Ruchkina and Pavlutina “had a warm business relationship”, Life TV channel reported, citing fellow police officers.
“We rule out a quarrel over a woman. Nikita was married and had two children. And Sergei, it seemed, had no one. We still can’t understand what exactly happened, no matter how hard we tried,”— one of the employees of the Russian Guard told the RenTV channel.
Updated:The suspect, who had previously confessed, admitted guilt and declared his intention to cooperate with the investigation.
Rosgvardia employee Sergei Ruchkin, detained on suspicion of murdering colleague Nikita Pavlutin, admitted his guilt at a court hearing to select a preventive measure. RIA Novosti reports this.
“I realize what I did, I now have to live with it. I want to help the victim’s relatives and ask them not to take me into custody,”— the agency quotes Ruchkin.
The Perovsky District Court arrested Ruchkin until December 18, TASS writes.
The murder occurred due to negligence - the policeman did not make sure that there was no cartridge in the service pistol when handing over the weapon
A 27-year-old employee of the former 3rd police battalion of the Interdistrict Department of Private Security in the Eastern Administrative District (now part of the Russian National Guard) was fatally wounded on Tuesday by a careless shot from a Makarov pistol while turning in his shift at the department on Kuskovskaya Street. It is noteworthy that the fighter who accidentally killed his comrade is a DJ from the Moscow region who recently got a job with the police.
The murder suspect, Sergei, worked part-time as a DJ.
As MK learned, at 20.00 employees of the Russian Guard were turning over their shift. A 26-year-old police sergeant named Sergei, a native of Noginsk, a graduate of the Russian International Academy of Tourism, went into the weapon unloading room to hand over his Makarov service pistol. The man has been in law enforcement since November 2014, and in private security since May of this year. In parallel with this, Sergey works as a DJ and performs in nightclubs near Moscow under the nickname SERGEY MYERS. The young man admits on his page that music for him is an incentive for self-expression. At one time, he worked on creating a music album, wanted to become a star DJ, but life made adjustments to his plans - Sergei got a job in the police.
According to the rules, at the end of the shift, Sergei had to remove the magazine from the weapon and check the number of cartridges in it. Moreover, perform actions in front of the bullet catcher. But, according to eyewitnesses, the young employee violated the procedure when handing over the weapon - he did not make sure that there was no cartridge in the chamber. A shot rang out and a bullet hit a colleague, police officer Nikita Pavlutin, in the head. An ambulance was urgently called to the department, and doctors hospitalized the still living patient. Pavlutin was operated on at the hospital, but he died around 2:00 on Wednesday.
The shooter was detained. By the way, fellow police officers suggest that Sergei and Nikita were playing with weapons after a 12-hour shift, which led to the tragedy.
Pavlutin had an impressive length of service in the police force and left behind a wife and two small children. A special commission visited the department on Wednesday to understand the reasons for the tragic incident. Most likely, a criminal case will be opened against the sergeant under Article 109 “Causing death by negligence.” However, from the video it can be assumed that the shot was fired intentionally. So the investigation will check all versions of the incident.
In Veliky Novgorod, a policeman, while dismantling his weapon, accidentally shot a colleague. According to the main version, everything happened in the office. Apparently, a local police officer was going to clean Makarov’s service pistol. However, at some point a shot rang out, and the wounded colleague of the local police officer died before the ambulance arrived.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Novgorod Region confirmed information about the initiation of a criminal case against the 24-year-old district police officer. No further details are provided.
Let us remind you that today in Moscow they say goodbye to senior sergeant of the Russian Guard Nikita Pavlutin, who died under similar circumstances right in the department: he was also shot by his own partner. At some point, Sergei Ruchkin pulled the shutter and shot his colleague directly in the head. The tragedy was captured on CCTV cameras installed in the weapons surrender room. The day before, the alleged killer was arrested for two months. A criminal case has been initiated under article murder. What caused the accident is still unknown.
The accident occurred in Moscow on October 18. A Russian Guard officer shot and killed his colleague during shift changeover. This video raises many questions, since the motives for this crime are unclear. The employee reportedly shot his colleague accidentally. CCTV footage shows several people in the room. One of the National Guard employees brings a Makarov pistol to his colleague’s head and pulls the trigger. He is shot in the head and immediately falls to the floor. It was not possible to save the victim; he died in the hospital.
The main version of what happened is called careless handling of weapons and accidental. After the publication of the video, many noticed that the National Guard deliberately shoots at his colleague and then calmly walks around his body. Immediately there were suggestions that the murder was not accidental, since the shooter checked the magazine and pulled the bolt before firing. However, it is quite possible that the shooter simply did not know or forgot that his weapon was loaded and just wanted to make fun of his comrade. When the man fell to the floor, the shooter could remain outwardly calm due to shock, since at first he simply did not realize that something terrible had happened. Colleagues of the shooter and the deceased, who claim that they had warm friendly and business relations, also doubt that the shot was intentional.
A criminal case has been opened into the death of an employee of the Russian Guard. Investigators are investigating the cause of the murder.
A representative of the National Guard promised that a thorough check would be carried out, and support would be provided to the family of the deceased: The leadership of the Russian Guard in Moscow expresses its condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. The most thorough investigation will be carried out and measures will be taken to ensure that this does not happen again. The widow of the deceased will be assisted in conducting the funeral, as well as further financial support.

At the same time, he noted that he sympathizes with the family of the deceased. In addition, Ruchkin said that he wanted to help the relatives of his colleague.
The court found him guilty of committing a crime, TASS reports. “The court decided to satisfy the investigation’s request and choose a preventive measure against Ruchkin in the form of arrest for a period until December 18,” the judge said.
Previously, Dni.Ru reported that the murder was caught on CCTV cameras. The recordings show that Ruchkin deliberately brought the gun to his colleague’s head.
The leadership of the Russian Guard expressed sympathy for the family of the murdered man and promised to carefully study the details of the case. “The most thorough investigation will be carried out and measures will be taken to ensure that this does not happen again. The widow of the deceased will be assisted with the funeral, as well as further financial support,” said a representative of the special service.
At the same time, the Russian Guard noted that there is no need to talk about concealing the crime. However, all the intelligence officers who were in the weapons room at the time of the murder did not see what happened. “All colleagues stood with their backs to the shooter, at the moment the version remains that it was an accidental shot,” the department said.
Let us remind you that it was previously reported that a 27-year-old employee of the Russian Guard was shot dead due to negligence by his colleague. The man did not check the presence of cartridges in the magazine when handing over the weapon. The media reported that the gun accidentally fired into the wall, the bullet ricocheted and hit the fighter in the head. However, the video footage refutes this version of the tragedy.
