During the court hearing in the case of former State Protection Department employee Artem Kosov, who is accused of the intentional murder of a 16-year-old boy at the capital's funicular station, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko tried to find out from the accused whether he really urged the victim to go serve in the army. This was reported by a correspondent of UNN.
Details
"You sent a child to serve in the army. Were you unhappy that the child was not serving in the army? Are you a TCC employee to send a teenager to serve?" - the Prosecutor General reacted to the video, in which the accused urged the victim to go serve in the army.
The accused refused to confirm that he urged the teenager to go serve. He also refused to state verbatim in court what he said at the scene, appealing that there was obscene language in those words.
The prosecution also emphasized that, according to the video materials, the victim and his companions behaved adequately, and to Kosov's threats, the victim only asked: "What did I do to you?".
Earlier, UNN reported that the court at today's session in the case of former State Protection Department employee Artem Kosov heard the conclusions of the forensic medical expert. He noted that the cause of death was a piece of glass that inflicted the main wound to the victim's neck.
Ruslan Kravchenko informed the court that, according to witness testimonies, the accused reached for the place where he had a pistol and thus threatened those around him.
