According to her, the experts examined the scene and found gunshot wounds on the bodies of the soldiers while the room where they were allegedly murdered bore signs of crime concealment (someone tried to set it on fire and planted explosives inside). The law enforcers carried out operation to locate and detain the suspects.
After collected evidence was examined, the investigators made a conclusion that the marines were murdered by two their fellow soldiers who were subsequently detained. The investigators re-enacted the crime with participation of the detainees’ defenders. During interrogation, the suspects plead guilty of committing murder which they said was provoked by the acts of harassment against them.
The investigation is ongoing. The prosecutors will soon charge the soldiers with murder and file a motion to impose pre-trial restriction against them.
