Nationalists threaten Ukrainian top cop with 'revenge' over far-right leader murder

On 24 March 2014 Oleksandr Muzychko was shot dead. There are conflicting stories about how this happened.[12]

According to Ukrainian MP Oles Doniy,[12] a group of unknown armed people arrived on three Volkswagen minivans and kidnapped Muzychko and five other people from a cafe near Rivne. They murdered Muzychko behind the cafe by two gunshots to the heart.[13][source needs translation][2][14][source needs translation] In another telling of Doniy's account, a group of attackers forced Muzychko to stop his car, pulled him from it, handcuffed him and shot him.[15][16]

According to the interior ministry of Ukraine, Muzychko died in a shoot-out with police in a cafe in Rivne. According to the ministry, the police raided the cafe to arrest Muzychko, but he opened fire while he tried to flee. He was shot when the police returned fire. The police were able to capture him and three others, but by the time the paramedics had arrived at the scene, he had died.[12][17]

On 25 March, police stated that Muzychko had shot himself.[18]

Reacting to news of the shooting, Dmytro Yarosh, leader of Right Sector, called for the resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and the arrest of the police who had come for Muzychko.[18]

Wiki

(links at source).

The story was "developed" all day. The salient facts are that the Ukrainian Interior Minister Avakov apparently ordered the hit and took responsibility for it. The photograph shows the body with chest wound(s) and handcuffed with hands behind the back, the shirt torn apparently to reveal the absence of a bullet proof jacket. This makes subsequent stories of resisting arrest, fleeing, or committing a suicide all bogus. Why a minister (and a millionaire) would execute such manner of "justice" is for me and your to ponder.



R.I.P.
