The court announced the verdict in the criminal proceedings regarding the attempted murder of a deputy of the Kyiv Regional Council in 2019 and the murder of his son. Prosecutors proved the guilt of the direct perpetrators of the crime – a sniper and two of his accomplices, who assisted in the preparation and execution of the crime.

The sniper was found guilty of completed attempted murder, negligent homicide, illegal handling of firearms and ammunition, forgery of an official document, and its use. He was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

One of the accomplices was found guilty of aiding in the completed attempted murder and illegal handling of firearms and ammunition and was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Another accomplice, also found guilty of aiding in the completed attempted murder, was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The public prosecution was carried out by juvenile prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General. They proved that on December 1, 2019, the convicted individuals deliberately attempted to take the life of the deputy near a restaurant in the center of Kyiv – the victim sustained a head injury, and his 3-year-old son died on the spot.

The sniper and his accomplices had prepared the weapon, its components, ammunition, and means of concealment in advance. They also found a special location where they stored everything necessary for carrying out the criminal intent aimed at committing a contract killing for mercenary motives before and after the crime. They had been preparing for a long time: observing the victim's whereabouts, sighting the weapon at the shooting range, and taking other actions.

The court examined about 20 volumes of evidence provided by the prosecution, interrogated witnesses and victims.

The court began reviewing the materials of the criminal proceedings twice, as one of the accused was detained only 2.5 years after the crime was committed – he had been hiding from the investigation and was on the international wanted list. After the indictment against him was sent to court, the criminal proceedings were consolidated, and the court review was restarted.

The accused awaited the court's verdict in custody.

The organizer of this crime is currently hiding from justice and is on the international wanted list.
