According to the Izvestia source, Ekaterina claimed that Tarkhov and his wife had left the country.

On February 28, the girl confessed. She explained that she poisoned relatives to take over their property, and then froze the bodies in nitrogen, after which they were dismembered by an accomplice. The Tarkhovs' remains were scattered in dumpsters. The man managed to leave the Samara region.
