A sixty-year old pensioner has been killed in broad daylight in one of Moscow's pedestrian underpasses. Disturbing footage of the murder was caught on a hidden camera.

The two men approached the pensioner, who was carrying a bicycle, before attacking him. They repeatedly beat him after he refused to hand over his bike. Though the place was not deserted at a time, nearby people did not make any attempt to stop the assault. The attackers were in a drunken state and tried to escape, but were detained by metro police. Two 23-year old men have been charged with the offence.
