The lawyer of the family of the deceased, Oleksandr Panchenko, told journalists about this, UNN reports.
"I literally talked to my father before the court. My father is in such a state that he can still communicate more or less. I talked to him, I asked him what his position was on this measure of restraint. The position was clear - it is a non-alternative detention, which is fully supported. As far as I know, he and his mother are not divorced, so this is, as I understand it, the position of the victim's family," the lawyer said.
