At the earlier funerals of her family - before she was under suspicion - witnesses noted she did not cry. Forensic evidence showed that Elena and Daniil had been strangled before the blaze started, said state investigators.The case - which took five years to reach a verdict - has shocked Russians.Daria plotted to inherit not only her mother’s money and property but later - on his death - the fortune of her 77 year old grandfather Ivan Chernov, a former top executive at Rosneft, the court decided.
Daria was not at home when the fire ignited and initially strongly defended her lover - as he gave a succession of contradictory accounts over the fire and deaths.
