According to the investigation, during the occupation of Izyum, the defendants abused civilians. In May 2022, they detained a 57-year-old man for his pro-Ukrainian position. The occupiers arrived in two cars at his home. They forced the man into the car, tied his hands and put a bag over his head, and took him to a torture chamber.
The perpetrators beat the detainee and tortured him, trying to obtain information about the locations of the AFU and equipment known to him. The man died from the blows.
Local residents buried him under the number 311 at a mass grave in Izyum.
The issue of putting the suspects on the wanted list is currently being decided.
