Police have arrested the
19-year-old son of a Russian billionaire on suspicion of strangling his mother
to death. Yegor Sosin was allegedly under the influence of drugs at the time of
his arrest.
Yegor, the son of retail tycoon
Igor Sosin, was arrested at the Korston hotel in Kazan, Russia, after a fellow
guest reported seeing him walking down a corridor covered in blood. The body of
the magnate's ex-wife, Anastasia Sosina, was found in the hotel room she had
rented with her son, prosecutors from Russia's Investigative Committee said in
a statement.
She appeared to have been
strangled with the cord of a charger for an electronic device. It was claimed
that the two arrived in Kazan to attend the Family Constellations and Cosmic
Power workshop of German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, when the incident
happened.
"I met with mother for some
kind of treatment procedures, mother gave me some pills," the younger
Sosin told police in a videotaped interview released by prosecutors. "And
later in the apartment – that is, in our hotel – some strange things started happening,
hallucinations, as I see it now."
His father, Igor Sosin is the
owner of a number of retail chains, including DIY Project Russia and Starik
Khottabych. At the Cannes Festival in 2014 Igor spent $4.9m (£3.2m) on 42 red
designer dresses ordered directly from a catwalk fashion show as a gift for his
current wife.
In 2013 it was claimed that he paid $1m to rent a property in New York's exclusive Hamptons for just two months over summer.
