One biker was killed and another injured in a conflict between members of two different motorcycle clubs, Night Wolves and Three Roads, in Zelenograd near Moscow.

A criminal case has been opened into the matter, the press office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said. 

The criminal case against a biker, 35, was opened over counts (f) and (i), part 2, Article 15 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“a murder committed in a publicly dangerous manner out of hooligan motives”). The resulting punishment could be life in prison.

According to the Investigative Committee, members of the Night Wolves and Three Roads motorcycle clubs got into a conflict that ended in a mass fight at the Oktyabrsky garage-building cooperative in Zelenograd on the night of October 19, 2012.
