Anton Levin

Anton Levin (Rus: Антон Левин), also known as "White Bear", was the victim in A Russian Case (Case #5).

Profile
Anton was the head of the Russian mafia. He was also the owner of his restaurant, Levin's Restaurant. He was the father of Mikhail Levin and the father of Eva Coleman's (Mikhail's girlfriend) unborn child.

Anton was bald and had white facial hair. He sported blue eyes and wore a gold chain, an untidy blue shirt, and a red blazer. In addition, he wore a pair of red and black glasses.

Murder Details
Anton was found dead in his restaurant on a chair bleeding over the floor. Upon autopsy, Nathan counted 36 oddly shaped wounds on Anton's head. From the angle of wounds, they deduced that the killer was 6 foot tall and that he died fighting. During the fight, he scratched his killer's face. During investigation, it was discovered he was murdered with a meat tenderiser.

Killer and Motives
The killer was his own son Mikhail Levin, who argued with Anton in his restaurant, speaking in Russian language. They fought each other. Anton scratched Mikhail's face, then Mikhail grabbed a meat tenderizer and injected it into his head. Mikhail killed his father because he found out that his girlfriend Eva was cheating on him with Anton. Eva was also pregnant with a child Mikhail thought was his. However, he found out that the baby was in fact Anton's.
