According to investigators, a 31-year-old foreign national was killed over a TikTok livestream.<\/p>\n<p>The Investigative Committee said the victim held a residence permit in Belarus. He worked as a car mechanic at a vehicle repair shop in Homiel. The man lived with a 53-year-old woman from Homiel in an apartment also shared by her 17-year-old daughter and two sons, aged 13 and 18.<\/p>\n<p>On May 23, the man and woman were drinking alcohol in the same district of Homiel. They returned home late in the evening. One of the woman&#8217;s two adult daughters arrived there with her children. The drinking continued.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;At one point, the man turned his attention to his mobile phone and started broadcasting live on TikTok. The apartment owner repeatedly urged him to stop the livestream, then snatched the phone from his hands and smashed it by throwing it onto the hallway floor. During the ensuing conflict, the woman stabbed the foreign national in the chest. He died at the scene from his injuries,&#8221;<\/i> the Investigative Committee said.<\/p>\n<p>The woman drove her relatives out of the apartment in an attempt to conceal evidence of the murder. Some time later, her 18-year-old son returned. His mother blackmailed him into helping her cover up the crime.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;During the night, they wrapped the victim&#8217;s body in a blanket, carried it outside and transported it to a country house in a Hyundai owned by the accused. They buried the body on the property and returned home.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>That morning, the woman decided that the burial site might be discovered and forced her son to go back to the country house with her. They bought petrol, dug up the body and burned it in a metal barrel. They scattered the remains in holes in the vegetable garden and concealed them with seedlings,&#8221;<\/em> the Investigative Committee added.<\/p>\n<p>The director of the vehicle repair shop where the foreign national worked contacted the police after the employee failed to show up for work.<\/p>\n<p>Police and investigators managed to establish where the victim had been buried and determine that the woman and her son were involved in the crime.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;According to the investigation, the crime was prompted by accumulated resentment stemming from numerous conflicts caused by the woman&#8217;s jealousy, her state of intoxication and a situation that provoked the incident,&#8221;<\/i> the Investigative Committee said, describing the motive.<\/p>\n<p>The woman has been charged under Part 1 of Article 139 of the Criminal Code (intentional unlawful killing of another person). Her 18-year-old son has been charged under Part 2 of Article 405 (concealment of a particularly serious crime).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_600573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-600573\" style=\"width: 837px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-600573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-b52ae3-v.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"837\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-b52ae3-v.jpg 837w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-b52ae3-v-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-b52ae3-v-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-600573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Investigative Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_600572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-600572\" style=\"width: 837px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-600572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"837\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-3.jpg 837w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reform.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/img-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-600572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Investigative Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Investigative Committee has completed its investigation into a murder in Homiel.
