According to the public indictment of the prosecutors of the Frankiv District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Lviv, two men were found guilty of robbery and intentional murder of two persons (Part 4 of Article 187, Clauses 1, 6, 12 of Part 2 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
They were sentenced to life imprisonment with confiscation of property for each of them.
Prosecutors proved in court that in 2020 in Lviv, the defendants seized the property of a pensioner couple and implemented a murder plan.
To do this, they organized a meeting with the victims, allegedly under the pretext of inspecting their housing for further rent. While in the apartment, the 20-year-old attacker stabbed the owners numerous times, from which they died on the spot.
At that time, his 20-year-old accomplice was monitoring the situation on the street.
After that, the defendants appropriated the valuables of a 66-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman who were with them, as well as the keys to another apartment where the victims lived. Later, they entered there and stole property from there.
The pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of police department No. 1 of the Lviv District Department No. 2 of the Main Department of the National Police in the Lviv Region.
The court verdict becomes legally binding after the expiry of the appeal period.
