Suspect in Irina Farion's Murder Detained in Dnipro

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported the arrest in Dnipro of a suspect in the murder of former Verkhovna Rada deputy Iryna Farion.

The president's message was published on his official page in Telegram:

“The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klimenko just reported to me about the detention in Dnipro of a suspect in the murder of Irina Farion. The operation to detain was very difficult. During these days, hundreds of specialists from the National Police of Ukraine, the SBU and other services worked to solve the murder”.

According to the president, to the detainee 18 years. Necessary investigative actions and examinations are ongoing. Zelensky instructed the Minister of Internal Affairs to present to the public all details.

Athens News previously reportedthat a cell of the neo-Nazi movement NS/WP (National-Socialism/White Power) claimed responsibility for the murder. The authors of the appeal provided several videos, including one from the first person of the murderer.

The media compared the video with footage from the scene of Farion's death and found matching cars.

The video also shows a manifesto “autonomous revolutionary racist”who took responsibility for the murder.

The author motivated Farion's murder by the fact that the former MP was inciting hatred based on language within Ukrainian society. At the same time, the author supported the Armed Forces of Ukraine and stated that he was fighting “internal enemy”. “I can't help but talk about the military separately. First of all, I want to thank all the soldiers for defending Ukraine. I'm not going to interfere with you, but on the contrary, I'm trying for your benefit. While you're fighting an external enemy, I'm fighting an internal one,” – it is said in the manifesto.
