Then he tried to cover his tracks – he changed his clothes, disposed of the weapon and tried to hide in Khmelnytskyi Oblast.
But he could not escape. Around-the-clock work by the Lviv police and the central apparatus of the National Police yielded results; the audacious killer has been detained and the necessary evidence collected.”
