On the night of January 27, at 03:40, in the Dnipro, on the territory of the Yuzhmash (Pivdenmash) plant, a National Guardsman, a conscript soldier, Artemy Ryabchuk , shot the NSU guard from a Kalashnikov assault rifle , after which he disappeared with a weapon. 5 people were killed (four servicemen and one civilian woman), another 5 were injured. As of January 27, three of the victims were in intensive care, two of them in a very serious condition.
At 9:30 a.m. Thursday , the killer soldier was detained by patrol police. The State Bureau of Investigation has registered a criminal proceeding on the official negligence of the leadership of the National Guard, which led to the tragedy.
The media got a video of the interrogation by law enforcement officers of the detained shooter, in which Ryabchuk tells the chronology of his actions. In the evening it became known that one of Ryabchuk's wounded by shooting managed to escape and sound the alarm.
Verkhovna Rada Deputy Yulia Yatsyk said that, according to preliminary information, two months ago Ryabchuk prevented a fight between soldiers and reported the incident to the leadership. The latter did not take any measures, recognized him as a "squealer" and began to mock him. The command of the National Guard confirmed that Ryabchuk tried to prevent his colleagues from fighting and reported this to the leadership, but this event took place 3 weeks ago.
Artemy Ryabchuk, an employee of the National Guard, who fired at the Yuzhmash plant in Dnipro on January 27 and killed five and wounded five more people, apologized in court and confessed to his deed.
Ryabchuk’s direct speech: “Your honor, I sincerely feel sorry for those people whom I hurt with my act. I am guilty and fully admit my guilt.
It’s hard for me to remember that time on the night of January 26-27. After the arrest, the prosecutor and the investigator conducted an interrogation, at which I told and told everything until late at night, after I voluntarily surrendered (into the hands of the police - ed.)
My only wish is: don't send me to the guardhouse, but to the pre-trial detention center."
Details : According to Ryabchuk's lawyer, the defendant does not want to return to the place "where he was bullied."
The prosecution in the petition asks the court to elect Ryabchuk detention for a period of 60 days without the right to bail. In addition, the prosecutor is asked to keep the suspect under arrest in the guardhouse at the place of military service.
According to prosecutors, Ryabchuk may be hiding from the investigation and put pressure on witnesses, representatives of the victims, investigators and experts in the investigation.
In the Ukrainian Dnieper conscript soldier shot fellow soldiers from the machine gun "AK-74". The incident occurred shortly after receiving weapons for guard duty at the Yuzhmash plant. The shooting hit the security camera.
