In the Donetsk region, three young men suspected of the brutal murder of the 51-year-old uncle of their girlfriend will appear before the court. The youngest of them is only 16 years old.
The incident took place at the end of October last year in Toretsk. Investigators found that the 27-year-old woman was drinking alcohol with a relative that evening, during which they had a quarrel.
After that, she came up with a “revenge plan” for her uncle, telling her friends that the man had allegedly insulted her little child. Three comrades aged 16, 17 and 19 promised a friend to talk to him.
– During the “educational conversation”, the attackers inflicted numerous punches and kicks on the head and torso of the man. The next day, the 51-year-old victim died from the grievous bodily injuries received, the report said.
