A resident of the southern Siberian republic of Tuva has killed two men after they damaged his car’s mirror, the Investigative Committee reported.

Investigators said that two men, aged 18 and 20, damaged a wing mirror of his car when riding their motorcycle on July 2.

The car’s owner, a 34-year man, and his two companions caught up with the bike riders, stopped them, took them to the woods and beat them to death. They also threw the motorcycle down to a nearby river to get rid of it.

The suspects face up to life in prison if found guilty. An investigation is underway.

Shocking! The victims were locals I presume?

Being Tuva, of the 5 people mentioned in the news report, it is a pretty certain at least 4 of them were victims of the endemic alcoholism.

Good to read those news only after our trip to Tuwa (we red tapped the Tuva track by bicycle).
Now that I m out I would rather speculate the motorcyclists were russian.
We got through without major problems, besides a welcome shoot around midnight that left us sleepless.
