The border villages of Stara Radcha and Nova Radcha are the first settlements in the Zhytomyr region invaded by Russian invaders at dawn on February 24. After clearing highways, investigative and operational groups of the police recently began working there to document the aggressor's war crimes.
In particular, law enforcement officers are investigating the shooting of pensioners that occurred on the outskirts of the New Radcha village
"On April 7, a 34-year-old resident of the Kyiv region applied to the police with a statement about her mother and stepfather shooting by the invaders. It was previously established that on the outskirts of New Radcha approximately on March 24, Russian servicemen shot a 67-year-old woman and her 60-year-old husband. Now the body of the latter was taken to the morgue for autopsy and determination of the causes of death. As for the woman, her clothes were probably found with traces similar to blood. An expert study is scheduled", – reported by Zhytomyr region police.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated on this fact under Part 2 of Article 438 (violation of the laws and customs of war) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Also, the police are checking reports about the death of another elderly local resident as a result of a wound received during the shelling.
