While thinking about his plan, Raskolnikov contacts a drunkard named Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov, who not long ago has blown away his family’s wealth. Then Raskolnikov receives a letter from his mother, informing of their visit to Saint Petersburg, and the sudden marriage of his sister which they’ll discuss on their arrival there. After so much reflection, Raskolnikov moves furtively into the apartment of Alyona Ivanovna and kills her with an axe. He also has to kill Lizaveta, his half-sister who saw him doing all this.

That’s why both of them arrive Saint Petersburg, both to see Luzhin and to get an approval of Raskolnikov.
