Suponitsky's wife told about a meeting with her husband's killer a few days before the tragedy

On October 9, Alice, the wife of St. Petersburg architect Alexander Suponitsky, told Izvestia that she had seen the alleged murderer of her husband Konstantin Kozyrev in the house a few days before the tragedy.

"I met him in two or three days at the front door. I also thought that someone had moved in with us. We know a lot of people. He took the elevator up to our floor for some reason. And we rode together. First we said hello, then I said goodbye, and he looked at me like that and said goodbye too," the woman said.

She also added that their daughter was with Suponitsky during the massacre. Kozyrev met them at the elevators and ordered them to kneel, but after that the man told the girl to go home.
