Moscow police arrested three men this week suspected of killing a top manager from the Hitachi company in the Moscow Region in December, the police said on Thursday, March 7, according to RIA Novosti.

Yakov Fominykh, 30, was reported missing on December 11, after his Audi RS3 car was found abandoned outside Moscow. His body was discovered a day later near a road in the Tver region.

The police detained the three unnamed suspects on Tuesday but the news was reported only on Thursday.

An anonymous police source told RIA Novosti that the suspects have admitted beating up Fominykh to find out where he kept his money and then killing him.
