Farion’s murder: Suspect Zinchenko will remain in custody
The Lviv Court of Appeal upheld the preventive measure for Viacheslav Zinchenko, who is suspected of murdering former People's Deputy and linguist Iryna Farion.
This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, Censor.NET reports.
"Earlier, the Halytskyi District Court of Lviv imposed on the suspect a pre-trial restraint in the form of detention without the alternative of bail. Prosecutors insisted on this measure of restraint. The suspect's defense lawyer filed an appeal against this decision of the investigating judge and asked to cancel it and choose a preventive measure in the form of round-the-clock house arrest," the statement said.
The court dismissed the lawyer's appeal and upheld the previously imposed measure of restraint in the form of detention without bail.
