Let us remind you
On May 8, at 15:22, the police received a report from eyewitnesses that a shooting had taken place in the village of Sofiivska Borshchahivka. As a result of the gunshot wounds, a serviceman and his mother-in-law died. Police officers conducted a special operation and detained the shooter.
It was established that a month ago the serviceman sold a weapon to the man. However, yesterday, May 8, a conflict arose between them regarding payment for the goods: the military demanded that the buyer pay him a certain amount more. As a result, the man shot the soldier and his mother-in-law, who was at home, with the purchased weapon. After that, the attacker went to his own house and locked himself inside.
The suspect was detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. He turned out to be a 63-year-old local resident. The machine gun from which the shooter fired the shots was seized and sent for appropriate examination.
