He prepared for a long time, watched, planned, and finally pulled the trigger.
It took the police 36 hours to track him down and arrest him.
On 30 August, in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, he disguised himself as a courier and opened fire on the politician in broad daylight. Eight shots. Cold-blooded cruelty. He even made sure that the victim was dead. And then he tried to cover his tracks — he changed his clothes, got rid of the weapon, and tried to hide in the Khmelnytskyi region.
But escape was impossible.
The round-the-clock work of the Lviv region police and the central apparatus of the National Police of Ukraine has yielded results — the brazen murderer has been detained and the necessary evidence has been collected.
I would like to thank everyone who worked day and night to solve the crime and make the arrest: operatives, investigators, criminal analysts, prevention specialists, forensic experts, dog handlers, KORD special forces, our colleagues from the Security Service of Ukraine and the prosecutor’s office, said Ihor Vyglinsky.
