Lviv Court of Appeal upholds preventive measure for suspect in Farion’s murder
Due to the principled position of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the Lviv Court of Appeal remanded in custody an 18-year-old resident of Dnipro, who is suspected of the premeditated murder of a public figure, People's Deputy of Ukraine of the VII convocation Iryna Farion.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press center of the Prosecutor General's Office.
As noted, earlier the Halytskyi District Court of Lviv extended the suspect's detention without the alternative of bail.

"The suspect's defense counsel filed an appeal against this decision of the investigating judge and asked to cancel it and impose a measure of restraint in the form of round-the-clock house arrest.
As a result of the court hearing, the court dismissed the lawyer's appeal and upheld the previously imposed measure of restraint in the form of detention without bail," the Prosecutor General's Office explained.
