“Awayev is a nerd, and he doesn’t look like a madman, he has absolutely no reason to do so,” said the neighbor. “He’s rich and smart, and this kind of person can’t kill. Maybe Awayev A family was killed.” However, it was also revealed that the Avaevs were recently involved in a financial lawsuit, so they decided to commit suicide.

She speculated that “maybe they owe a lot of money, so he decided to shoot himself.
