MEXICO CITY—“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him,” chanted a mob of roughly 100
angry Mexicans in Cancun, the popular tourist destination on the coast
of Quintana Roo, Mexico. “I’m going to decapitate you,” one man shouted
at Aleksei Viktorovich Makeev, as the bloodied 42-year-old Russian
resident of Mexico fled the interior of his home for a nearby rooftop
while the mob pelted him with large rocks and jeered. When Makeev
finally collapsed on the rooftop, covered in his own blood—and that of
an unarmed teenager whom he stabbed moments before, after the teen
attempted to enter the Russian’s apartment—the townspeople finally let
him be, as reporters livestreaming from the scene claimed that Makeev
had died.
In fact, after being beaten with sticks and stoned
nearly to death, the half-naked Russian was transported to a local
hospital and treated for his injuries. The townspeople had fractured his
skull.
Makeev is now reportedly in stable condition, but remains in a drug-induced coma, paralyzed and likely brain-damaged, said
Dmitry Bolbot, Mexico City’s Russian consul. But the 19-year-old youth
whose last name has not yet been disclosed, “Lalo”—a nickname for
Eduardo—bled out on the pavement as paramedics attempted to save his
life. He was pronounced dead soon after Makeev stabbed him repeatedly in
the stomach with a kitchen knife as he fled the home. The horrific
stabbing was also caught on tape.
