In the Kursk region, the court arrested a man for torturing the son of a cohabitant

The Ryl district court sent into custody a man accused of torturing the son of his partner. The petition of the investigation was granted - the accused Andrei Nikolenko will spend two months under arrest.

According to investigators, 40-year-old Nikolenko involved in several episodes of abuse with an 8-year-old boy. In September 2025, he allegedly grabbed the child by the shoulders and threw it on the floor. In August 2026, he struck him with a wooden roller, and later struck him four times with a tourist knife in a plastic case. The blows occurred in the head and legs, causing wounds in the temporal region and abrasions on the lower leg and left thigh. Together, these actions caused the boy physical and mental suffering, while he could not protect himself due to his age.

In court, the accused asked for house arrest, but did not deny his involvement. The court granted the request of the investigation and detained Nikolenko for 2 months.
