Claims he was born God
Russian media have long since released the name of what is supposed to be the perpetrator in Kazan, but the authorities have not done so.
A video recording of the alleged killer, who is being questioned at a police station in Kazan, abounds on social media and in traditional media in Russia.
– I was born God. It took a while before I realized it … I realized it two months ago, says the man, who is lying tied on a bench while he is asked by what is probably an FSB investigator.
A few days ago, he is said to have created his own channel on Telegram, which he called “God”. Also there he told that he is God and that he would kill many people – and then himself.
– Since last summer, a monster has started to wake up in me. I started to hate everyone … I always hated everyone, but I started to hate even more, says the man in the video, who is supposed to be from the police station in Kazan.
The father of the 19-year-old tells Baza on Telegram that the son was not religious.
