As sources in the police told Dumskaya, the body of 17-year-old Dmitry Zakalsky was recently found in a cell in the 5th regime building of the pretrial detention center. He hanged himself with a bed sheet. He left a suicide note.
At the time of the suicide, the prisoner’s cellmate was allegedly out for a walk.
Zakal’skiy was charged under paragraph 6, part 2, article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – “murder committed for mercenary motives.” He faced up to 15 years of imprisonment or life imprisonment.
The murder case of Michelle Pivczyk is still at the stage of pre-trial investigation – the court recently extended it until August 1.
According to law enforcement, Zakalsky and Pyavchik met in Telegram. During their conversation, he learned that the girl had valuables: an Apple iPhone 14, wireless Apple Air Pods 3 headphones, an Apple Watch smartwatch, and a portable JBL speaker. He intended to seize this property.
He invited Michelle to meet at the railway station in Odessa and go by train to visit him. She agreed.
On January 21, 2024, the couple hit the road. They got off at the Raukhovka intermediate station, where the attacker took the girl to the basement of an abandoned building of the former weight complex. There he took an unidentified heavy object, which he used to hit the unfortunate woman on the head several times. She died on the spot, and the killer threw garbage over her body.
Michelle’s grandmother reported her missing on January 30. On February 3, police managed to arrest a suspect. The court sent him to a pretrial detention facility without the possibility of bail.
