Jerusalem - In a dramatic announcement, Israeli police said Monday they have arrested the alleged murder of a family of six - two grandparents, two parents, and two young children - who were found brutally stabbed to death in a partially burned-out apartment.
The alleged perpetrator carried out the murders - which have been described as 'the worst in Israel's history' - apparently in revenge for being fired from his job as a waiter at the family restaurant in the town of Rishon Lezion, south of Tel Aviv, police said as a gag order on the investigation was lifted.
Demian Olegovich Kirilik, 39, like his victims an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, was arrested on October 23 and has reportedly confessed to his crime and reenacted the murder for police.
His wife, parents and another minor were also arrested on suspicion of obstructing justice and being accomplices after the fact.
The victims, the Oshrenko family, who immigrated to Israel from Uzbekistan in the former Soviet Union in 1990, were killed as they gathered at the apartment on a Friday night to celebrate the third birthday of their oldest child.
According to the police account, Kirlik was fired from his job at the restaurant Dimitri Oshrenko owned, after surveillance footage revealed he had habitually drunk the restaurant's vodka on the job. Oshrenko dismissed Kirlik in front of the other staff.
Police believe Kirlik was determined to avenge what he saw as an insult to his honour. In addition, he also suspected his wife of having an affair with Dimitri Oshrenko's father, Edward.
A third apparent motive for his acts was his belief that a large amount of money was kept at the Oshrenko home.
Kirilik arrived at the Oshrenkos' apartment early on Saturday, October 17 and killed the family grandmother, Ludmilla. He then murdered Edward, before knifing the couple's daughter-in-law, Tatiana.
His fourth and fifth victims were the Oshrenko's two young children, a three-year-old girl and her three-month-old brother.
According to one account, he used brute force to kill the children, plunging the knife so hard into the three-year-old that the blade ripped though the body and tore the mattress.
When Dimitri Oshrenko arrived at the apartment, Kirlik pounced on him and killed him after a brief struggle. He then set fire to the apartment before fleeing.
Investigations of possible motives for the killings led detectives to Kirlik. He was arrested after police were able to connect him to some bloody clothing which was found in the apartment and which did not belong to any of the victims.
IF his wife was indeed having an affair with the Grandfather, she’s as much of a psychopath as her husband.
She helped him gain entry into the home by making copies of the families keys, helped him plan the murders and waited for him to return home after. Her role was fulfilled by covering for him and obstructing the investigation afterward.
She is said to have been good friends with the victims and was actually employed at one of the restaurants they owned.
The police have placed her under arrest I assume as an accessory.
Affair or not, she is one depraved woman.
This has russian mob written all over it.
What happened in Isreal, happened all over Europe and the US. When the USSR slowly fell apart in the 1980s and the Russian economy collapsed in the 1990s, millions of persecuted religious refugees, mostly Jews, and some Christians and Catholics, resettled in Isreal, the USA, and different countries of Europe. But while this as going on, the Russian governments provided non-Jewish mafiosi and the worst of the worst criminals falsified documents, in an attempt to prove they had Jewish ancestry, and granted them exit-visas to emigrate abroad. Many of these fake-jewish criminals settled in Israel and Brighton Beach, NYC, and immediatly went to work setting up criminal enterprises.
There was a noticeable increase of organized crime rackets in both countries involving drug smuggling, prostitution including human trafficking of under age girls as young as in their preteens and mail-order bride scams, murder for hire, identity theft, cyber crime, car theft, gun smuggling....the works.
Many used restaurants and other businesses as their fronts. Want a taste of this. Go take a walk down the boardwalk in Brighton Beach. Brighton Beach is knicknamed, “Little Odessa”, and one of the biggest russian communities outside of Russia.

Very true. From the start, the Israeli police indicated that they suspected it was a mob hit. These organised crime gangs are atrocious.
Those organised crime empires which you mention are a profound problem, because once they are established, how can a society be rid of them?
