40-year-old Begench P. from Turkmenistan moved to Moscow and enlisted in the Wagner PMC. In early July, the man was returning to Moscow by train, where he liked the 21-year-old conductor.
The passenger waited until night, entered the conductor's compartment and attacked the girl when she was sleeping. The mercenary tried to rape a train employee, but she was able to fight back the attacker. At the same time, he inflicted injuries on her — scratched his hand and knocked out two veneers. The rapist was removed from the train and detained.
