Investigators inspect Lukyanivka remand prison in Kyiv after inmate was killed
The Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv has started to inspect the Lukyanivka remand prison in Kyiv after an inmate was killed there.
This is reported by the press service of the Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv.
“The Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv has raised the issue of carrying out the official inspection on the medical assistance, provided by the remand prison administration to inmate Makar Kolesnikov, who died in the remand prison premises on January 1,” reads the statement.
The experts of the Kyiv City Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination determined that Kolesnikov died as a result of hemorrhagic pancreatitis.
The investigators entered the information about this incident into the unified register of pre-trial investigations on the grounds of a criminal offense. The pre-trial investigation continues.
As a reminder, the Secretariat of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights drew attention to the poor conditions of detention in the Kyiv remand prison in 2014.
As reported, convict Andriy Danyliuk was beaten to death in Khmelnytsky remand prison, and his wife was being subsequently threatened. The suspects for the murder of the convict have not been removed from offices.
