Novovolynsk detectives solved a crime that occurred in early February in the miners' city. Back then, in the morning, on the territory of the local boarding lyceum, the lifeless body of a local pensioner was found. The 53-year-old man had been brutally tortured: strangled, his ribs broken, and then left to fend for himself in the bitter frost. When the killer was not found on fresh tracks, it seemed that this case had no prospects of being solved. However, as senior investigator of the city prosecutor's office Mykola Trotsiuk told the newspaper "Simia i Dimi," the criminal did leave some traces behind. Law enforcement officers gathered evidence bit by bit against a young resident of Novovolynsk. Finally, when they realized that the suspect would not be able to wriggle out of it, they arrested him. …19-year-old Roman N. is giving testimony today. That day, the paths of the victim and the killer intertwined on a footpath near the lyceum. Both had been drinking, but the older man was more intoxicated. The young man allegedly offered to walk Oleksandr home. Why the stranger took such an interest in him, the man will never know. Near the boiler house, the young man suddenly began to beat him brutally. When he saw that the elderly man was not moving, Roman left him to freeze in the yard. This crime is not the first in the life of the 19-year-old Novovolynsk miner. He had already served time behind bars for theft.
