#2 Interior Ministry takes control of Kushnaryovs case wound looks suspicious

The main version of the incident which caused death of Party of Regions deputy Yevhen Kushnaryov is casual handling with gun.

Izyum department of Interior Ministry reported that Dmytro Zavalny shot Yevhen Kushnaryov with Italian carbine Benelli Argo during going around the chase they rent.

they took two hunting rifles, got into Toyota Land Cruiser and went to the forests. In some time they saw a wolf running parallel to their car. The car stopped, the wolf ran ahead. Kushnaryov and the driver (probably Zavalny) jumped out the car with guns and went in different directions. In some seconds, people in the car heard firing shots and later cries for help.

Tetyna Bahteyeva, member of PR faction and experienced doctor, said that according to her data, the bullet entered from the right in hypochondrium on-the-miter.

It passed through liver, right kidney and bowels. Probably, it came from above. It is rather suspicious. Law enforcement officials must investigate this situation very thoroughly, the expert said.

It does look a bit sus. :)
