<p>After speaking and arranging to meet at the entrance of the park, Artyom arrived with a female friend called Daria, who apparently left when he started arguing with Rasskazov. Witnesses at the Railway Workers Park said the older teen tried to flee when he saw his rival had a knife.<br />
The 16-year-old was detained and police confirmed his confession, with charges expected to follow. The Investigative Committee confirmed a murder probe is underway.<br />
A friend said: &#8220;Nikita [the alleged killer] was spending a lot of time in online groups devoted to maniacs and often carried a knife with him.&#8221;<br />
A close pal of Artyom&#8217;s said : &#8220;He had no enemies, ever.&#8221;<br />
It was reported that eyewitnesses at the party confirmed that Olena had taken the initiative with Shustov, yet had later told Rasskazov that it was the dead teen who had &#8216;harassed her&#8217;.</p>
