Coca-Cola plant director killed in Russia

Saint Petersburg: Russian police arrested two people Wednesday suspected of murdering the director of a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Saint-Petersburg who went missing last week.

A murder probe was opened after Dmitry Soshnev disappeared on Friday and investigators said in a statement that two men had been arrested and the victim`s body found.

The men arranged a meeting with Soshnev Friday in a secluded area of the city and shot him from a "hand-made firearm," the Investigative Committee said in a statement. 

They then "took possession of 150,000 rubles(2,284 euro, $2,740)and Soshnev`s documents for his BMW car" which they wanted to sell, the statement alleged.

Earlier this week a spokeswoman for the drink giant`s franchised bottler, Coca-Cola Hellenic, said colleagues became worried after Soshnev did not show up to work Tuesday morning.
