The Belarusian prosecutor’s office suspended the criminal case on the death of Roman Bondarenko – “Nasha Niva”

The prosecutor’s office suspended the criminal case on the death of a 31-year-old resident of Minsk, Roman Bondarenko, due to the inability to establish the identity of the person involved in the crime. About it informs “Our Field”.

The prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case into the death of Bondarenko on February 18 this year. The case was initiated under the article on deliberate infliction of grievous bodily harm, resulting in death by negligence.

On November 11, at about 22:00, unknown persons wearing masks came to shoot white-red-white in the courtyard not far from the “Square of Changes”. Local residents reacted to this and began to leave their apartments. A conversation ensued between the parties, and Roman Bondarenko became an unwitting witness. At some point, the security forces began to make claims to Bondarenko, after which a scuffle began. The detention of Bondarenko was caught on video.

The Interior Ministry said that “not indifferent citizens” took part in the fight, the police arrived later and called an ambulance for Bondarenko.

The Minsk resident ended up in the neurosurgery department of the Minsk ambulance hospital in serious condition. He was diagnosed with a severe head injury. In the hospital, Bondarenko fell into a coma, and later died. A week after that, a criminal case was opened against the doctor Artyom Sorokin, who reported the death of Roman Bondarenko, and the security forces came to the journalist Katerina Borisevich who wrote about the incident. The doctor and the journalist were arrested.

In March of this year, Borisevich was sentenced to six months in prison, Sorokin received two years in prison with a suspended sentence for a year. In May, the journalist was released.
