Officers of the State Security Ministry of the Lugansk People’s Republic have found a burial site of the victims of Ukrainian nationalistic squadrons in Lutugino district, the Ministry’s press service said.
“LPR State Security Ministry staff located a mass grave in a wooded area off the Lutugino-Beloye road, one kilometer away from the Lenina village, Lutugino district,” the Ministry said. “It has been ascertained that the Ukrainian National Guard and nationalistic squadrons had a checkpoint in the area in 2014.”
“After an inspection, State Security Ministry specialists established the fact of atrocious crimes committed by the Ukrainian army and the genocide of their own people. Disinterment revealed the remains of three bodies, supposedly men, whose identities are now being established,” it added.
“Examination showed that the corpses had their hands and feet tied with blue and yellow adhesive tape commonly used by fighters of Ukrainian terrorist battalions. The bodies were also found to have bullet holes in the temporal region,” the Ministry said.
Post-mortems are now underway to establish exact cause of death. LPR Interior Ministry has been tasked with reburial arrangements.
Lugansk Forensic Medicine Bureau experts have begun to examine the remains of the victims of Ukrainian nationalist units.
“Bone fragments, including parts of three skulls have been delivered to the Bureau’s forensic examination unit. The skulls apparently belonged to young people and at least two of them show signs of bullet wounds, Bureau expert Roman Volchenko said.
“A forensic expert examination is required to give a more reliable judgement on the injuries, their nature and cause,” Volchenko said, adding that more accurate estimates of the victims’ age would follow.
“This skull has a piece of red adhesive tape attached at the eyes level. We observe fractures on the left temporal area consistent with the impact of bullet,” Volchenko said showing one of the skulls. “We see injuries consistent with gunshot wounds on the second, while the third skull is represented by some fragments only.”
