Court arrests Berkut commander suspected of mass killings on Kyiv Maidan
Kyiv Court of Appeals has changed the measure of restraint for the commander of the former Berkut special task force, who is suspected of organizing the killing of protesters in central Kyiv in February 2014, to detention in custody instead of house arrest.
As Interfax-Ukraine was told at the court on Tuesday, the prosecutor agencies asked the court to change the measure of restraint for Dmytro Sadovnyk.
The court approved the motion of the prosecutor's office and issued a ruling on Sadovnyk's detention.
As earlier reported, Sadovnyk was arrested in connection with the organizing the mass killings on February 18-20, and two Berkut officers who were earlier sentenced to two months are suspected of being accomplices in the crime.
