He was killed in the house where his friend, also a cook, lived. Police says that Portsmouth Police Officers were dispatched over a report of burglary. There they saw a man banging on the door. When the unarmed man moved in the police officer’s direction the officer shot him dead. The number of times the policeman pulled the trigger is still not confirmed, but one of the whiteness heard 6 shots. “He is not a burglar. He is a friend,” Maurice Wilson, Kirill’s cook-friend confirmed. The police department refuses to identify the name of the officer, but confirms that investigation is in process and the Officer is on administrative leave. Initially Kirill's friends identified him as Kirill Suchin, but later the Embassy confirmed the his surname was Denyakin.
