At the beginning of the trial, the Russian admitted his guilt in the act. It turned out that at the Time of the murder, he was in a state of alcoholic intoxication.

German law enforcement officers soon arrested the Russian after the murder. He was placed under preventive custody.

In February 2024, another murder of a Ukrainian basketball player and his friend occurred in Germany.
