In Kyiv, a man tried to intimidate a woman with the body of his grandmother, with a plastic bag over her head.
As police said, a 23-year-old Kyiv resident met a woman on a dating website and invited her to an apartment on Zodchykh Street. The woman came, but the young man began threatening to kill her, then opened a wardrobe and showed her the body of a dead pensioner with a plastic bag over her head.
The guest was frightened, ran away and called the police. Law enforcement officers and doctors found the body of an 82-year-old woman at the scene, the owner of the flat. She presumably died from strangulation.
The young man was detained at his flat on Yakuba Kolasa Street. He had previously been convicted of car theft.
Police have opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code, intentional murder. Law enforcement officers are speaking with the young man and the woman to establish what happened. The person guilty of the murder faces up to 15 years in prison.


Earlier in Vinnytsia, a police officer struck a man for refusing to be a witness, and the man died.
In central Kyiv, a Range Rover was shot at, and the 3-year-old son of a deputy was killed.
