A 49-year-old man will go on trial in Kyiv. He is accused of illegally possessing a grenade. He threatened to detonate the ammunition in an apartment where several people were.
This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police of Kyiv.
It is noted that the incident occurred in late January in an apartment on Gradynska Street in the Desnianskyi district of the city. At that time, the police received a report from a 22-year-old boy that his father was threatening to detonate a grenade in their apartment.
At the scene, law enforcement officers determined that the father and son had argued because the latter's friends, who had come to visit them, were behaving loudly. During the verbal altercation, the defendant entered his son's room with ammunition and threatened to blow it up.
The police detained the man and seized the body and fuse of the F-1 grenade. The investigators also found out that the suspect is a serviceman who is in the SZCh. He was informed of the suspicion under Part 1 of Art. 263 Illegal handling of ammunition and under Part 5 of Article 407 Unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Currently, the indictment has been sent to the court. The sanction of the articles provides for up to ten years of imprisonment.
It was previously reported that a 34-year-old man reported to the capital's police that two strangers approached him on the street and forced him to transfer 5,000 hryvnias to their account, threatening him with a grenade. The perpetrators were two foreigners, and they were sentenced to 8 years in prison. The attackers had previous convictions, and one was on the international wanted list.
Also in Kyiv, a man detonated a grenade in a hostel during a conflict with a roommate. No one was killed. Law enforcement officers detained a 27-year-old suspect.
