Beaten, tortured, and burned alive: Son of Kharkiv’s deputy mayor killed in Vienna over crypto

21-year-old Danylo Kuzmin, the son of Kharkiv’s deputy mayor, was murdered over $200,000 in cryptocurrency, Austria’s Kronen Zeitung reports. According to the outlet, he was lured into a trap in the underground garage of the luxury Sofitel hotel by a 19-year-old compatriot he trusted.

During meetings in Vienna, Kuzmin allegedly carelessly told the acquaintance about his father’s assets stored in digital wallets. The young man then teamed up with a 45-year-old Ukrainian to plan the murder. In the garage, the victim was brutally beaten — blood traces were found in the stairwell, and Kuzmin was left with almost no teeth. Under torture, he gave up the access codes to two crypto wallets.

The severely injured Kuzmin was forced into the back seat of his father’s Mercedes, driven to the Donaustadt district of Vienna, doused with gasoline, and the car was set on fire while he was still alive.

Using hotel surveillance footage, Vienna police quickly identified the suspects. After an international manhunt, they were arrested in Ukraine, where they will stand trial. The killers managed to withdraw $200,000; about $100,000 was found on the 19-year-old at the time of arrest.

According to unofficial reports, the 45-year-old suspect is a former senior official of the Odesa customs service, while the 19-year-old is the son of a well-known businessman from Chernivtsi and the stepson of Ukraine’s ambassador to Bulgaria.
