Suspect held without bail in connection to gruesome Medford storage unit killings.

Leonid Volkov, 37, of Medford, has been charged with murder and larceny from a building after the bodies of Pavel Vekshin and Kiryl Schukin, a married couple from Medford, were found inside a storage unit in Boston's Brighton neighborhood. The couple was reported missing earlier this month and both died of multiple stab wounds. Volkov rented the storage unit and used Schukin's name to do so. Prosecutors allege Volkov stole several items from the victims' home and used their credit cards to go on a shopping spree. Schukin had been a guarantor on the lease for Volkov's apartment in Medford, where he lived with his family, but had recently declined to be the guarantor on the lease extension, resulting in the family being evicted.
