According to the investigation, on July 19, 2024, Zinchenko shot Faryon with a pistol from a distance of about two meters and fled. The woman died from severe injuries in the hospital.
The suspect is accused of intentional murder on motives of national intolerance, as well as illegal possession of firearms. Vyacheslav Zinchenko claimed to have experienced 'national discrimination against citizens of Ukraine who speak Russian', which is why he tried to kill Iryna Faryon.
Zinchenko is currently in custody, with the preventive measure extended until January 12.
