The perpetrator will await the court's verdict in custody. He faces up to 15 years of imprisonment.

In October of last year, during a conflict near a bar in the Reniy community, a 32-year-old man stabbed a 40-year-old local in the chest. The victim was hospitalized but unfortunately passed away. The forensic examination concluded that the cause of death was a heart injury.

Law enforcement declared the suspect wanted and located him during a search operation. He was detained with the assistance of the «KORD» special forces of the National Police of Ukraine in a derelict building on the outskirts of the community.

Attempting to evade responsibility, the suspect threatened to detonate a grenade he was holding when he noticed the police. After two hours of negotiations, officers persuaded him to surrender the weapon.

A hand grenade, RGO with a shock-distance fuse, was seized from the man, along with a Makarov pistol and nine rounds. According to the examination results, these items are classified as firearms and ammunition suitable for use.

The suspect refused to explain his unlawful actions.

Viktor Gerasimenko, head of the Izmail District Police Department, stated that sufficient evidence was gathered, and the suspect was charged with intentional homicide and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition without the required permit.

According to the sanctions of part 1 of article 115 and part 1 of article 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the accused faces up to 15 years in prison.

At the request of the police, the court chose to detain the suspect. The pre-trial investigation is complete, and the indictment has been sent to court. The Izmail District Prosecutor's Office will support the prosecution in court.
