The body of Nikolai Kolesov, a journalist with the Revdinsky rabochy newspaper, was found on 19 July 2000 in the town of Revda.
Police experts who examined the scene were almost certain it was a case of suicide. The dead man had several knife wounds in his chest. The windows and doors of the flat in which Kolesov lived were shut from inside and there was no sign of a break-in or the theft of any objects.
