Over 180 residents of the southern Russian village of Kushchevskaya, which recently saw a bloodbath in which 12 people were slain, will be received by Russia's top investigator Alexander Bastrykin on Monday.

Over 180 residents of the southern Russian village of Kushchevskaya, which recently saw a bloodbath in which 12 people were slain, will be received by Russia's top investigator Alexander Bastrykin on Monday.

"The meeting will not end until all citizens [who applied for the meeting] are received, until all of them speak of their problems and specific cases they know," Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said.

The bodies of 12 people, including eight adults and four children, were found in a house in Kushchevskaya, Krasnodar Region, on November 5. The adults were stabbed to death, three of the children were strangled and the remaining died of smoke inhalation.

Six suspects confessed on Friday to the brutal mass murder, Governor Alexander Tkachev said Friday.

Serever Ametov, 51, the farmer who owned the house is believed to have been celebrating a Russian public holiday on November 4 with his family and friends.

Local investigators are probing five major versions of the mass murder, including personal dislike and the business activities of the victims. Russian media cited a 1990s dispute in which Ametov refused to cede his land to the local mafia as the main motive for the bloodbath.
