A 70-year-old man from Lviv was found guilty of premeditated murder (Part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) following a public indictment by the prosecutors of the Frankiv District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Lviv. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Prosecutors proved in court that in November 2020, in his apartment, during a conflict with an acquaintance, the convict deliberately stabbed her several times in the chest with a kitchen knife. The woman died from her injuries at the scene.
Later, in order to hide the traces of the crime, the convict dismembered the corpse into parts, put it in bags and left it on the territory of Snopkivsky Park.
