The Frankivskyi District Court of Lviv has ordered a measure of restraint for Hryhorii Kedruk, suspected of fatally wounding Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR and SS) service member and ATO veteran Yurii Bondarenko. He has been remanded in custody for 60 days without the right to bail.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Suspilne.
It is noted that the prosecution filed a motion asking the court to place the suspect in pre-trial detention without the possibility of bail.
The suspect’s lawyer asked the court to impose 24-hour house arrest or custody with a minimum bail amount. She said the 30-year-old man has no prior convictions, has an official place of residence (he rents a flat) and a formal education, but is unofficially employed. The case file also includes a document stating that the suspect’s grandmother suffers from serious illnesses and that he supports her financially.
The court ordered that the suspect be held in pre-trial detention without bail for 60 days, until 30 January 2026.
