Police in Moscow appear to have bungled their investigation into the stabbing of Denis Tsoy, who suffered 27 knife wounds in a January 2008 attack near Moscow but miraculously survived, according to a July 9, 2008 report by the Sova Information-Analytical Center. Police reportedly resorted to hypnosis in their interrogation of a group of suspects, allegedly members of a neo-Nazi gang, along with more traditional methods of analyzing their cell phone records and gathering testimony from other witnesses. Despite the fact that Mr. Tsoy identified two of the attackers, one of whom was allegedly found in possession of a knife when he was detained, police have concluded that the four suspects they originally detained were not involved in the attack and dropped charges against them. They are continuing the investigation, looking for other suspects.
