At the time of his death, People's Deputy from the Popular Front Dmitry Tymchuk was not alone in the apartment, reports a political Navigator correspondent.
This was announced by the head of the National Police Sergei Knyazev.
“I can’t answer how many shots there were - experts are examining it. There are a number of working versions, including, possibly, an accident, careless handling of firearms. We are also considering versions of a criminal nature. There is a citizen who was with him in the apartment and who is now testifying. We collect testimony from neighbors. Or the situation in the apartment is disturbed - we inspect it,” said the head of the National Police.
According to him, the deceased previously had a gunshot wound to the head. A criminal case has also been opened under the article “premeditated murder”.
He added that all other information will be provided later when police complete their investigation of the scene. A forensic doctor and experts are also currently working on the spot.
