Avakov Reports Arrest of Group of Hitmen Who Killed Amina Okueva
Members of the criminal organization were involved in contract killings.
Today, January 12, the Kyiv Region Prosecutor's Office reported on Facebook the exposure of individuals who committed the murder of Amina Okueva.
The Kyiv Region Prosecutor's Office, together with the Main Department of the National Police in Kyiv Region, detained members of a criminal organization that carried out contract killings.
«On October 30, 2017, near the village of Hlevakha in Kyiv Region, unknown persons opened fire on participants of the Revolution of Dignity and the war in eastern Ukraine as part of the Kyiv-2 battalion. Okueva was killed and Osmaev wounded by targeted shots from automatic weapons of 7.62 caliber. Thanks to the coordinated work of the Kyiv Region police and the regional prosecutor's office, the perpetrators of the brazen murder of Amina Okueva and the attempted murder of Adam Osmaev have been detained today».
The detained criminals are also responsible for two more contract killings, committed in September 2016 and January 2019, which have also been solved. Investigative actions are ongoing, and measures are being taken to detain all members of the criminal organization and establish the clients.
Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov said on Facebook that the DNA of the detainee matched the DNA on a weapon left at the crime scene. According to Strana.ua, the detainee is Ihor Redkin, a Ukrainian citizen born in 1964 with no prior convictions, who lives in Kyiv.
Press secretary of the Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion Amina Okueva was killed in October 2017 when her car was shot at with automatic rifles near Kyiv. Her husband, also a 'dobrobat' fighter Adam Osmaev, was wounded in the leg.
This was not the first attempted assassination of ATO veterans — in June of that year, after a shootout in Kyiv's Podil district, Osmaev and the attacker Artur Denisultanov, known as 'Kadyrov's killer', were seriously wounded.
Earlier it became known that in Dnipro a street named after the late Okueva may appear. The renaming commission under the city council made this decision.
