Law enforcers don't know about suspect's letter in Nozdrovska murder claiming innocence – Abroskin

 A note written by Yuriy Rossoshansky, suspected of killing a lawyer Iryna Nozdrovska, where he confesses his guilt and asks forgiveness from his family, was written in the presence of police, and law enforcers do not know of any other note where he speaks of his innocence, the first deputy head of the National police of Ukraine - the chief of criminal police Viacheslav Abroskin has said.

"This note was written in the presence of police officers where he confesses his guilt, repents, asks for an apology to his family. The note was passed on to his wife. We did not see that part of the note or any other that the Russian channels are talking about. And I think this is done on purpose to discredit our country," Abroskin said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

To journalist's detailing that Yuriy Rossoshansky allegedly said in a letter that he hadn't killed Nozdrovska, the head of the criminal police said: "I did not see such a letter. Did you see it?"

As reported, lawyer Nozdrovska, who lived in the village of Demydiv in Vyshgorod district, Kyiv region, was found dead in a river on January 1, 2018. A criminal case on deliberate murder was opened.

On January 8, it became known about the detention of a suspect in this crime. He is Yuriy Rossoshansky, Dmytro Rossoshansky's father, convicted in May 2017 for seven years for a fatal crash, in which, in September 2015, Nozdrovska's sister, Svitlana Sapatynska, was killed.

On January 9, the Vyshgorodsky District Court of Kyiv region chose a preventive measure to Rossoshansky in the form of custody for 60 days - until March 8 inclusive. This decision can be appealed in the Court of Appeal of Kyiv region.

On the same day, his wife Olha Rossoshanska stated that he had left a note to his family saying that he was ready to take the blame for himself because of "persecution", which, in his opinion, was organized against his son and family. "Yura wrote something like a suicide note. The husband said: I do not want to live like that. I beg my relatives to forgive me." He drew a layout of the cemetery where to bury him. I was afraid that he would commit suicide. But it turned out that he decided to take responsibility," she said.

Moreover, Rossoshanska does not believe that her husband could have committed this crime: "My husband is 64. He is big, but very slow. I cannot imagine how he could do it physically."

Yuriy Rossoshansky works as a driver of PJSC Kyivoblenergo. He has no criminal record.
