Noticing his prize money and luxury appliances, Vasenin decided to kill Andreiko.

Incidentally, Andreiko's wife Lyubov, who did not live with him anymore, arrived at his apartment shortly after his murder.

Vasenin answered the door and told her that Andreiko was meeting a woman and had asked not to be disturbed, but Lyubov suspected wrongdoing and went to a neighbor's apartment to call the police.

Because of his surrender, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison rather than receiving the death penalty.

An autopsy determined that the initial blow to Adreiko's head was the fatal.
