Correspondent "newspapers..." had a talk with the widow of Dmitriy, Anna Vasilyevna. It assumes that its husband perished for one reason: someone wants to select his business.
According to her, occurred the tragedy between 15 and 16 hours into the medium, on 12 October. From the school returned 10-year son novel.

- "Dead lies at the blood, next weapon..." - he said, weeping.
Anna did not be able to listen to further and she immediately dashed home. Husband perished from the shot in the heart into the support - from the winchester, with which Dmitriy sometimes left to be hunted.
According to Anna, the husband repeatedly said that they followed it, wrote statement in Podolskiy RUVD. But it waited for the reaction none.

However, in the week, on 8 September, statement about the disappearance of husband was already in Podolskiy RUVD.

And suddenly on 28 September Dmitriy rang. He rang from the cell phone and it was very far - in Italy.
It described to Genet that came to on the shore of beach in the port town Chivitavekk'ya. Two previous weeks departed in it from the memory. Dmitriy not had money, only banknote and passport. It was obvious that on the die in the document it was in Odessa, and then it proved to be in some Austrian town. But itself remembered nothing. After overcoming 130Km, it reached the capital of Italy of Rome. Naturally, immediately it left to search for the embassy of the Ukraine. All, than they was able to it there soak, one of the colleagues took pity and gave to ring from its mobile that it would ask the wife to supplement calculation on the banknote.
"Since card proved to be blocked, I used money order", she says.
Dmitriy returned to the Ukraine on 4 October. Wife met it in the airport. According to Anna, it terribly lost weight (kilogram by 15), but immediately it approached the work in the previous regime. However, what did occur in the time of the absence of the leader of company? Anna is assured that some friends and business partners wanted to use an absence of Dmitriy in order to take away the business of company.
