Okuyeva herself claimed in the interviews
After the attack in June many questions have appeared. For example, how was it possible that a couple who had a huge combat experience trusted a stranger and met their assassin several times.
Moreover, the police did not inform about the investigation’s progress. It was only after the death of Okuyeva that a deputy and the adviser to the Minister of the Interior, Anton Gerashchenko, said that the case would soon come to trial. According to him, the killer worked for the Russian special services and, if captured, might face life imprisonment.
