In a shocking development, two Russian mercenaries have confessed to the murder of a family of nine in the town of Vuhlehirsk, Eastern Ukraine. The suspects were apprehended by investigators and are currently being held without trial for a month under the martial law imposed in the region.
The motive behind the brutal killing is still under investigation, with alcohol potentially playing a role in the tragic incident. The case, initially handled by civilian authorities, will now be transferred to the military for further proceedings.
While there were no direct witnesses to the crime, local residents suggest that a conflict between the head of the victimized family and the military personnel may have occurred a few hours prior to the shooting at a local store. Eyewitnesses claim that the mercenaries arrived at the scene already intoxicated.
This is not the first time such a horrific incident has taken place in the region. Just recently, two soldiers were arrested in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on suspicion of killing nine individuals.
In a separate incident, a Belarusian national was detained in Poland on charges of espionage in favor of Russia. The investigation into his alleged activities continues as authorities delve deeper into potential connections between the two cases.
