True crime · 1994
The fake traffic policeman of the Narva road
Andrei Antonov dressed up as a traffic policeman. On 22 September 1994 he and two accomplices waved down a car on the Tallinn to Narva road with a police baton. Antonov shot the driver dead and later sold the car in Tallinn. On 8 October he took a private taxi from outside the Fööniks restaurant here in Jõhvi, had it drive to a village and shot the driver to steal the car. The next night he stopped another car at the same spot on the highway and killed its driver too. Already convicted of a killing in Tallinn, he confessed in 1995. In 1996 he was sentenced to death, replaced with life in prison.

Andrei Antonov riietus liikluspolitseinikuks. 22. septembril 1994 peatas ta koos kahe kaaslasega Tallinna–Narva maanteel sauaga auto. Antonov lasi juhi maha ja müüs auto hiljem Tallinnas maha. 8. oktoobril võttis ta siin Jõhvis Fööniksi restorani juurest eratakso, lasi end sõidutada ühte külla ja tappis juhi, et auto röövida. Järgmisel ööl peatas ta maanteel samas kohas veel ühe auto ja tappis ka selle juhi. Olles juba süüdi mõistetud ühes tapmises Tallinnas, tunnistas ta need teod 1995. aastal üles. 1996. aastal mõisteti ta surma ja karistus asendati eluaegse vangistusega.
