At the Shevchenkivskyi District Court in Lviv, during the hearing in the case of the murder of linguist and public figure Iryna Farion, the contents of the mobile phone of the accused, Viacheslav Zinchenko, were examined.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Suspilne.
Among the seized materials were images featuring Nazi and Russian symbols, screenshots of maps of Lviv, photos of weapons, correspondence regarding the purchase of pistols, and a PDF dossier on the deceased.
According to Suspilne, there were over 8,000 screenshots with markings on maps of Lviv, including the address where Iryna Farion lived. Images with swastikas, Hitler, the FSB logo, "Z" symbolism, St. George ribbons, and more were found — Zinchenko himself called these "memes."
Additionally, after the murder, an image mocking Farion appeared on the phone, and a dossier file dated March 6 was found in cloud storage, containing personal data and workplace information. Similar dossiers were found on Sternenko, Filatov, and Korban.
The prosecutor read messages in which Zinchenko, under the nickname "Paranoik," purchased a Stalker 2914 starter pistol for modification purposes. Other pistol models, including already modified ones, were also bought. Notes on surveillance methods, evading arrest, and a list of necessary equipment were discovered.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 21 at 11:00 a.m.
