The sister and wife of the murdered owner were hiding in the next room at the time and witnessed the murder of their family member and neighbor.
They also told the investigators that later the Russian military came to their house and buried the body of the owner in the yard, while the body of the other man was taken outside the property - a few weeks later his son found his body covered with leaves.

He was served a notice of suspicion in absentia for violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with premeditated murder. The occupier faces life imprisonment for the crime.
