The father of Vadim Kruglov, an Omsk resident killed at a festival in the US, told NGS55.RU about the investigation«s progress. The case is not closed, but Igor Kruglov does not believe the murderer will be found.

«The investigation most likely won»t lead to anything, because on the death certificate they wrote that the cause is undetermined. I understand that they just want to cover up this whole case, that«s all. For now, I can»t say anything more.«

The man also said that his lawyer will file a lawsuit against the festival organizers for failing to ensure event safety.

«Anyway, my lawyer will file a lawsuit against the festival organizers for failing to ensure safety. At least, that»s the intention. The investigation is not closed, the inquiry is not finished.«
