Law enforcement officers have identified five servicemen of the Russian Federation and three “Wagnerites” suspected of killing the headman of the village of Motyzhin and mortally torturing civilians in the Kyiv region.
During the temporary occupation of settlements in the Kyiv region, the military of the aggressor country robbed civilians, tortured, killed and burned their houses. The criminals are charged with 14 episodes of ill-treatment of the civilian population. After their torture, only three survived.
This was reported in the Office of the Attorney General.
The investigation established that in March 2022, Russian servicemen and members of the PKK “Wagner” came to the home of the headman of the village of Motyzhin . They illegally deprived of liberty and took a woman, her husband and son to their temporary base. The Russians tortured the prisoners. Thus, they tried to get information about the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Teroborone.
In front of his mother, his son was shot in the leg. He was then killed with a shot in the head. The invaders also tortured the husband of the village headman. His entire family died from multiple gunshot wounds.
In addition, the invaders of Russia from small arms mortally wounded a peaceful resident of the village . They did this because she was wearing dark clothes. Her father was taken prisoner and kept for a long time in a building, blindfolded and hands tied, without water or food.
Among the episodes incriminated by the mentioned military, two members of the public organization “Patriot” were tortured to death. Their bodies were found with numerous penetrating gunshot wounds.
The invaders also detained two volunteers. They tried to smuggle humanitarian aid into the occupied Motyzhin. After interrogations and torture, they were taken to a forest belt and ordered to flee, opening fire in the back. One of the volunteers died from a gunshot to the head. Another was wounded. The invaders appropriated cars and humanitarian aid.
The hands of another victim were tied by the suspects. After that, the man was tied to an ATV and forced to run for almost a kilometer. After interrogations, death threats and beatings, he was kept in a sewer pit for several days.
The prosecutor’s office reported in absentia that five servicemen of the Russian armed forces and three members of the private military company “Wagner” were suspected of violating the laws and customs of war, combined with premeditated murder.
Recall that trials against war criminals and traitors begin in Ukraine. The Prosecutor General of Ukraine Irina Venediktova spoke about the first cases.
