jewelry, mobile phone and the recently-gifted bouquet, then set fire to a sofa and armchair with a flammable liquid. While the apartment was burning down, he calmly left the house, emptied the purse containing 2,000 rubles and threw it beside the road. Bolgarov then went to a pawn shop, where he sold Shamruk's phone for 700 rubles, but decided to keep her bracelet.
