Head of Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) Yuriy Lutsenko has said the bodyguard of assassinated former Russian lower state parliamentarian Denis Voronenkov received wounds and is giving evidence about the attack, while the assassin is in critical condition.
“The bodyguard was shot in the chest, but he is alive and cooperating with investigators. The killer was shot twice, in the chest and head, which makes it impossible to depose him at the present time,” Lutsenko said during a press briefing in Kyiv on March 23.
The PGO head said the killer is connected to life-support systems, adding that 20 shell casings were found at the scene of the assassination. He said the assassin used a “TT” pistol and the bodyguard a Stechkin automatic pistol.
