The Russian military shot dead three civilians in the occupied village of Kokhany, Kherson Region, ASTRA reports.
"The corpses of three residents of the village of Kokhany were found after gunfire was heard on 15 March. The bodies of the men with gunshot wounds to the head were found by neighbours in the hallway of a house," the report says.
The dead civilians are men with the surnames Karpus, Holenkov and Voznov.
Later, soldiers from military unit 11843, 36-year-old Alexei Bulelin and 37-year-old Muntian Tarasenko, were detained on suspicion of murder. Both are from Volgograd Region.
As it turned out, Bulelin stole a car back in 2010 and received a suspended sentence. Tarasenko, according to the leaked databases, had previously been convicted of violent acts, but the publication did not find any other evidence of his conviction.
