At the time, the man was lying on the floor with his hands bound behind his back and was unable to defend himself. The suspect himself kicked him at least twice.

At the hospital, doctors found that the man had multiple rib fractures, severe lung injuries, and other life-threatening injuries. Despite the doctors’ efforts, they were unable to save him
The detainee was notified of suspicion of intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm resulting in the victim’s death, committed by a group of persons (Part 2 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). He faces up to 10 years in prison. The court remanded the suspect in custody without the right to bail.
