“At the present moment, two bodies have been pulled out from the water — a man and a woman, their identities are being established,” the committee’s message reads.
The Investigative Committee speculates that the victims were in a passenger car that was near the truck that had blown up.
The investigators also reported that they had established the identity of the truck owner. “It’s a resident of the Krasnodar region, investigative actions have been initiated at the place of his residence. The car’s movement route and the according documentation are being studied,” the Investigative Committee claims.
