A quarrel, sleep and rope: in Donetsk detained a suspect in the murder of a cohabitant

In Donetsk there was a murder, which became known a few days later. The suspect is a local resident. A criminal case under part 1 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was initiated by the investigative department for the Kyiv district of the SU of the IC of Russia for the DPR.

“The investigative department for the Kiev district of the city of Donetsk SU IC of Russia in the Donetsk People’s Republic initiated a criminal case against a local resident,” the department said.

According to investigators, everything happened on November 5. The woman and her partner were in a residential building in Donetsk. They drank alcohol together. A conflict broke out between them - the reasons are still being established.

“During the joint use of alcoholic beverages, a conflict arose between them,” the IC noted.
