Attempted murder of a medical center director: a service member in Kyiv has been notified of suspicion
Under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Defense of the Central Region, a service member has been notified of suspicion under part 2 of Article 15 and part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — a completed attempt at intentional murder.
According to the investigation, the service member, who earlier abandoned his military unit without authorization, attempted to kill the director of a private medical center in Kyiv.
The incident occurred on 3 September at about 10:00 in the Sviatoshynskyi district of the capital. The suspect had been waiting for the victim near the medical facility. When the director parked his car and exited it, the attacker approached and fired no fewer than 23 shots at the head with a firearm, then fled.
The victim sustained serious bodily injuries and was hospitalized. He is currently in critical condition.
During operational-search measures, law enforcement detained the suspect in accordance with Article 615 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
It has been preliminarily established that the motive for the crime may have been the death of the detainee’s wife following treatment at this medical center.
During urgent searches at the service member’s places of residence, investigators seized a firearm, clothing, and a laptop containing materials about the victim and his children.
A decision is being made regarding the selection of a preventive measure for the suspect in the form of detention pending trial.
Pursuant to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until their guilt is proven by a guilty verdict of a court.
