16-year-old Infiniti driver Nikolai Kharkov, suspected of a fatal accident in Kharkiv, has been extended in custody.
According to the decision of the judge of the Chervonozavodsky district Court, the minor suspect will stay in jail for the next 60 days without the right to bail. Thus, 16-year-old Nikolay Kharkov was arrested until March 19.
During the court session, journalists noticed the somewhat dismissive behavior of the teenager. In particular, he smiled in the face of the daughter of the deceased in an accident.
His lawyer stood up for Nikolai Kharkov and asked him not to “provoke” her client. The 16-year-old himself, answering the questions of the daughter of the deceased 58-year-old man, replied: It is necessary to drive a little less.
Recall that the pre-trial investigation into the case of a resonant road accident in Kharkiv ended on December 24.
The investigation proved the guilt of Nikolai Kharkov, but the examination of the blood of the deceased Chevrolet driver Igor Nosov proved that the man was intoxicated.

Two days after the accident, 16-year-old Nikolai Kharkov was placed in jail without the right to bail. In parallel, a pre-trial investigation took place.
A number of examinations established facts that brought the teenager closer to the real term of imprisonment. So, the speed of Infiniti, at the wheel of which a Kharkiv teenager staged a fatal accident, was 180 km / h, and a psychiatric examination found him sane.
Investigators also found that at the time of the accident, the Infiniti car was in good condition, including the braking and steering systems.
Criminal actions of Mykola Kharkiv are qualified under Part 1 of Article 383 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: violation of traffic safety rules that resulted in the death of the Chevrolet Aveo driver and bodily injury to other victims.
The teenager is also accused of knowingly making a false report about the commission of a crime – this is Part 1 of Article 383 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In the evening after the accident, he used someone else’s phone and called the police: the guy complained that his car was allegedly stolen.
On November 19, a molecular genetic examination confirmed that it was the teenager who was driving an Infiniti car. On the same day, 16-year-old Nikolay Kharkov pleaded guilty.
If the court proves the teenager’s guilt, he faces a sentence of imprisonment from three to seven years.
