Two months after Beketov was beaten, the lawyer representing his interests, Stanislav Markelov, was murdered in downtown Moscow along with a reporter from the independent Moscow-based newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Beketov had received death threats a week before the attack and reported them to law enforcement, and there have been no arrests. Novaya Gazeta, which has covered the attack and its aftermath extensively, undertook its own investigation into the incident. The paper reported that Khimki police ignored key evidence from the crime scene—officers did not examine recordings by security cameras across from Beketov’s home that could have captured the attack, for instance. Beketov’s neighbors were never questioned in detail, Novaya Gazeta said.
