A man has been apprehended by police in Odesa for the murder of his friend. The suspect fatally assaulted his acquaintance with a bottle, fists, and feet after suspecting him of stealing his wallet. The accused has been charged and a preventive measure has been imposed. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
This was reported by the police press service.
Recently, a woman discovered a bloodied body near an apartment building on Heroes of Krut Street and called the police. An investigative group and a mobile DNA laboratory were dispatched to the scene. Within half an hour, law enforcement identified a 37-year-old man with a previous theft conviction as a suspect.
"Police found that the night before, the suspect and his 43-year-old acquaintance had been drinking together in a courtyard between the buildings. During their drunken gathering, the younger man couldn't find his wallet and accused the older man of theft. In the ensuing conflict, he killed him with a glass bottle, fists, and feet.
The body of the deceased has been sent for a forensic examination to determine the cause of death, and the perpetrator was located and detained near the crime scene. A wallet, which he had not noticed in his pocket and thought was stolen, as well as bloodied clothing and other items relevant to the investigation, were seized from him," the report stated.
The investigators have charged the detained individual with intentional murder. This crime is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment. Upon the request of the investigators, the court has chosen a preventive measure in the form of custody.
