MOSCOW, February 19 (RIA Novosti) - An Uzbek national has been stabbed to death in south-west Moscow, a local police spokesman said on Tuesday.
A group of young people attacked the 25-year-old man on Monday evening, and fled from the scene.
The victim died on the spot of multiple stab wounds. A criminal case has been opened. Police have not ruled out that the murder was racially motivated.
This is the seventh fatal attack on a foreigner in Moscow since the beginning of the year.
Routine attacks by skinheads and far-right groups on foreigners and people with non-Slavic features have been reported across Russia in recent years. Some of the worst cities for racist attacks are Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the central Russian city of Voronezh.
