The revelation of horror never ends in Boutcha. The bodies of three men, visibly tortured and shot to death, were found in a grave near the city on Friday, their hands tied and blindfolded, kyiv police said on Saturday. “The victims were tortured for a long time (…) In the end, each of them received a bullet in the temple”, indicated in a press release the chief of the police of the kyiv region, Andriï Nebytov.
“The victims had their hands tied, clothes around their faces so they couldn’t see anything and some had gags in their mouths,” he added. The bodies of these three men were found in Myrotske, a village near Boutcha, a suburb of kyiv that has become a symbol of the atrocities of the war in Ukraine and in which many corpses of civilians have been discovered.
Ten Russian soldiers indicted
“According to preliminary data, the occupiers tried to hide the traces of their violence, so they threw the bodies into a pit and covered them with earth,” Andriy Nebytov said.
kyiv accuses the Russian forces of having committed massacres after the discovery of dozens of corpses wearing civilian clothes in these localities occupied then abandoned by the Russian army around kyiv.
This week, Ukrainian justice indicted ten soldiers from a Russian brigade stationed in the region during their brief occupation, now wanted for “cruel treatment of civilians and other violations of the laws and customs of war”. .
