The Chernihiv Regional Prosecutor's Office will appeal the court's decision regarding the preventive measure for the police officer who was driving the service vehicle during the accident that resulted in the death of a 6-year-old girl.

The head of the regional prosecutor's office appealed to the Desnyansky District Court of Chernihiv with a request to take the police officer into custody without the right to bail. Instead, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention with the right to bail set at 242,000 UAH.

Under these circumstances, the prosecutor disagrees with the court's decision and will appeal it in the appellate court. An appeal is currently being prepared.

The case is under the personal control of the head of the Chernihiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, who is the senior prosecutor in the criminal proceedings.

We remind you, that on December 10, around 11:44 in the city of Pryluky, Chernihiv region, a patrol police unit responding to a call about an accident ran over a 36-year-old woman and her daughter who were crossing the roadway at a regulated pedestrian crossing on V'yacheslav Chornovil Street.

The minor child died at the scene from the injuries sustained. The mother was taken to the hospital with bodily injuries.
A pre-trial investigation has been initiated into the signs of a criminal offense under Part 2 of Article 286 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of traffic safety rules resulting in the death of the victim).

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators from the Fifth Investigative Department (located in Chernihiv) of the Territorial Administration of the State Bureau of Investigation, based in Kyiv.

Note: According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
