NYT: Murder of Russian pilot in Spain bears similarities to earlier Moscow-linked killings

The pilot was shot six times in a parking garage in the city of #Villajoyosa on Feb. 13, according to the NYT. At the crime scene, law enforcement officers found shell casings from 9 mm #Makarov rounds, a weapon widely used in former Soviet countries, the newspaper reported.

Two men waited for Kuzminov in a car under the apartment building for several hours and ran over his body after shooting him, police officials said. They called the killers "clearly professionals," who quickly disappeared. The car was reportedly found burned miles away from the attack site.

It was a clear message. I will find you, I will kill you, I will run you over and humiliate you
