Crime Night
Three stabs against state silence: The murder of Mijaíl Khachaturyan A bell rings in the room. Three teenagers wake up. Their father sleeps. That night of July 27, 2018, in Moscow, what seems impossible happens: after years of documented torture, constant surveillance, and sexual abuse, the three sisters act in self-defense - and immediately confess to the police. The question that paralyzes all of Russia: is this premeditated murder or the only possible act of survival when the State abandons its victims? In this episode, we explore the contradiction that defines the case: the surveillance cameras installed by Mijaíl document his own regime of terror, social services ignored school alerts, the police dismissed previous reports of domestic violence - but when the sisters act, the prosecutor charges them with premeditated conspiracy. Hidden cameras, 35 stab wounds, a domestic arsenal, and a legal system that took years to recognize that the true victims were still alive. Victim: Khachaturyan, Mijaíl Date: July 27, 2018 Location: Moscow, Russia (Altufyevskoye Avenue Department) Status: Open case; verdict against Mijaíl (guilty, May 2022); sisters' trial pending - Mijaíl installed surveillance cameras in the apartment that documented his obsessive control and corroborated the abuse testimonies of his own daughters. - The school detected suspicious absences and withdrawn behavior; alerted social services, but the protective visit never took place. - Forensic examinations confirmed intimate injuries in two sisters consistent with repeated abuse, directly contradicting relatives who swore to have never witnessed violence. - María, the youngest, was declared unfit for trial due to severe psychological damage and transferred to a psychiatric ward while her sisters await sentencing.
