Details
The investigation found that the 60-year-old Kyiv resident had been ill for the last year of her life, and before her death she was virtually bedridden - her arms and legs were swollen, her hair was falling out, and she had no strength or appetite. In just a year, a completely healthy person turned into a seriously ill person - she was hospitalized twice, but as soon as she returned home, her health deteriorated.
"The doctors called toxic hepatitis the cause of the woman's condition, but they could not explain what caused the sudden illness. All this time, her common-law husband, with whom she had been living together for more than 20 years, was by her side. Subsequently, the examination showed that the cause of the woman's death was liver disease caused by poisoning with a chemical substance that was spiked in her food. The pre-trial investigation revealed that the woman had been poisoned for a long time by her common-law husband. After her death, he took all of the deceased's savings and her Suzuki car, telling her family that the car had burned down in Irpin during the occupation," the prosecutor's office added.
