National Guard conscript Artemii Riabchuk, who is suspected of killing four soldiers and a civilian and wounding five soldiers on the premises of the Production Association Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant named after A.M. Makarov (YUZHMASH) in Dnipro, does not intend to appeal against his detention as a pre-trial restrictive measure.
Riabchuk’s lawyer Ihor Stepanov announced this to the Ukrainian News Agency.
"No, he will not [appeal against his arrest]," the lawyer said.
According to the lawyer, his client is satisfied with the court's decision to order his detention in a remand prison.
He did not provide further details.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, a court ordered Riabchuk’s arrest on January 28.
The State Bureau of Investigation is looking for witnesses to the shooting of National Guardsmen by Riabchuk in Dnipro.
Riabchuk faces 10-15 years or life in prison if found guilty.
