Blogger and journalist Denis Kazansky reported this on Sunday, October 29, on Telegram.
In one of the private houses, the bodies of nine people were found with gunshot wounds, including two children. Considering that Volnovakha is a front-line city captured in 2022, and all the people with weapons there are Russian soldiers, there is no doubt that this is their work,” he wrote.
As the journalist notes, according to local residents, the family gathered to celebrate Natalya Gorkun’s birthday. The day before, her son-in-law Andrei Kapkanets had quarreled with the “Kadyrovites” who were trying to “squeeze” his house.
“Kadyrovites” decided to take revenge. They broke in during a family feast and killed everyone who was present, including small children,” Denis Kazansky told the details of the murder.
According to locals, Natalya’s murdered children were not even 10 years old – the girl was a 4th grade student, and the boy was four years old.
The military commanders arrived immediately, covered their tracks and didn’t let anyone in. They will hush it up, as usual, or write that the Ukrainian Armed Forces missile has arrived,” eyewitnesses write.
They also note that they wanted to set fire to the house in which the family was killed in order to destroy traces of the crime, but the locals did not allow this to happen, extinguishing everything.
There was no forensic examination. The innocent victims have already been buried, as noted on the local telegram channel.
Information about the brutal murder in the territory occupied by Muscovites was confirmed by the Investigative Committee of Russia, stating that “a set of necessary investigative and procedural actions is being carried out. The persons involved in the murder are being identified.”
Screenshots from local groups in telegram channels are published online, where it is stated that the family living in the house was killed by Kadyrov’s men after a quarrel with the owner of the house.
The Russian opposition telegram channel Astra, citing neighbors and relatives of the murdered, writes that the murder took place on October 27 in a private residential building on Donetskaya Street.
The house belonged to a family – a husband and wife, they had two children, a schoolgirl girl and a 4-year-old boy. All were allegedly killed, as were five other people in the house. These were guests who came to celebrate a birthday.
