In Kharkiv, forensic investigators have identified the victims of a Russian missile attack on a civilian production facility on March 20. In particular, there is already confirmed data on the remains of 4 victims of Russian aggression, and the data on the 5th victim is expected to be finally confirmed tomorrow. This was reported by the chief investigator of the Kharkiv region Serhiy Bolvinov, according to UNN.
We already know who exactly died from the enemy attack in Kharkiv. ... Since yesterday, all five were considered missing. However, thanks to the prompt work of our investigators and forensic experts, four of the deceased have already been identified. Samples of buccal epithelium from the chief engineer's mother are on their way to us from Sloviansk, where our colleagues worked with her. We know for sure that this man was inside during the strike. He has not been in touch for two days. Tomorrow, after research and analysis, we will be able to say for sure that he is the fifth victim of the Russian war crime.
Details
According to investigators, the victims included two layout designers from a signage company. The men were 51 and 42 years old. Both burned to death on the fifth floor. One of them was identified by matching his mother's DNA, the other - with his brother's samples.
Bolvinov also said that forensic experts have identified the two women who died. One of them worked in the building as an accountant at an electrical equipment company. She was 56 years old, and her body was also found on the fifth floor. Her samples matched her brother's DNA.
The other woman who was killed was a sales manager at the company in question.
We were one of the first to identify a 54-year-old sales manager, whose workplace was also on the fifth floor. The DNA samples matched those of her daughter.
The fifth victim, according to law enforcement, is most likely the chief engineer at the same enterprise where the enemy shell hit. Criminologists will confirm his identity tomorrow.
