Vyacheslav Zinchenkothe main suspect in the murder Irina Farion, stated that he was “in danger from Russian special services” and “radical individuals” and asked leave him behind bars.
“I don't want to kill myself under any circumstances. So if something happens to me, then I was “helped”. I ask the court to extend my preventive measure,” – Vyacheslav Zinchenko said at the trial to extend his arrest. Earlier it became known that the guy was publicly threatened by Farion's daughter, who said that he would “die” in prison.
After that, she was unhappy that Zinchenko did not attend court hearings, but participated in them online. As a result, the court extended Zinchenko's preventive measure, and also extended the pre-trial investigation until January 26. The prosecutor's office stated that in 2 months it had not managed to establish all the circumstances of the criminal offense, and 51 additional examinations were ordered.
Zinchenko case is being leaked(?)
Vyacheslav Zinchenko, the suspect in Irina Farion's murder, has nothing to do with Russia. This stated his lawyer Igor Sulima in an interview with Channel 24. “This is not a Russian trace. A priori, it has nothing in common with Russia or anyone,” the lawyer said.
Answering the question of whether the investigation had come to the conclusion that the suspect could have had accomplices or that he could have organized and committed the crime on his own, Sulima noted: “I can't understand one thing – in order to do this, you need to have some kind of goal, hostility, something that would make you do such a thing. I really want to wait for the indictment and see what will be written in the reasoning section. The motive in this aspect must be very serious. It is either his own hostile relations – there are none, because she did not teach him, he did not even know her before. Or some kind of pro-Russian trace, which is also not there. I think that society will be convinced – this is a very adequate and intelligent person.”
