However, due to the difficult socio-economic situation in the country and problems with future employment, Nagorny was forced to quit school and find a job.
He mastered the mechanic profession and soon decided to go into business, opening the AutoLux service centre in a hangar rented by him on the territory of one of the military units on the Projected Drive.
Their victims were company executives, car drivers and even other criminals: for example, in March 1998 they killed two members of the Solntsevskaya Bratva in their hangar.
When the police arrived at the service station, the hangar was closed, but sounds of active work could be heard from inside, and they decided to wait.
[2] All doubts from the investigators were dissipated immediately when, under the hangar's concrete floor, a bag was found containing bloodied items belonging to the victims, including license plates, a pistol holster and an empty magazine.
[2] Nagorny denied everything, but Stavitsky behaved nervously: when left alone for five minutes in the investigative office, he opened his handcuffs with a nail clipper and tried to hang himself using his sneaker's shoelaces.
[2] All 10 corpses were found in the sewer and a concreted pit, which was dug under Nagorny's service station, without knowing what it would be intended for.
However, he still managed to avoid punishment, as a forensic psychiatric examination revealed signs of a mental illness, and he was sent for involuntary commitment.
[3] At the trial, where, among others, members of the Solntsevskaya Bratva were present, he behaved defiantly, standing with his back to the victims' relatives.
