It was initially reported that the bodies of the murdered spouses had been dismembered, placed in bags and thrown into trash bins near a city shopping center. However, that information did not correspond to reality. The burial site of the remains was established by UAE police based on testimony from those detained in the murder case. Police had to search a 500 by 500 meter area of desert.

According to the publication, the bodies were not dismembered. They were found in thick polyethylene bags into which chemical solvents had been poured. At the moment, the procedure to transfer the remains to Russia for burial is beginning.

In the murder case of Roman Novak and his wife Anna in St. Petersburg, three suspects were detained, including Konstantin Shakht, who is considered the organizer of the crime. Two of the defendants confessed, Shakht denies the charges. The person who ordered the murder has not yet been identified.

Novak and his wife Anna were killed in October in the UAE. The couple were lured to a rented villa in the city of Hatta under the pretext of a meeting with potential investors. They were tortured, forced to provide access codes to crypto wallets, and then killed.

Novak was the creator of the Fintopio app for fast cryptocurrency transfers. He attracted about $500 million in investments for it, after which he disappeared, leaving investors without money.
