Stabbing incident involving the brother of former deputy Nevenchanny: the court ruled on the "inadmissible" evidence presented.

Stabbing Incident Involving Brother of Ex-Deputy Nevenchany: Court Rules on "inadmissible" Evidence

The Central District Court in Mykolaiv continues to hear the case regarding the "knife fight," in which the accused is Andriy Nevenchany, the brother of a former city council deputy.

This was reported by the court's press service.

The proceedings are presided over by Judge Volodymyr Aleynikov.

The defense submitted two motions. The first sought to declare the scene inspection protocols inadmissible, as the lawyer argued they were drafted by an unauthorized individual. The second requested the inclusion of information in the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations (URPTI) regarding official negligence and document forgery in the preparation of these protocols.

After reviewing the motions, the court concluded that the investigator who signed the protocols did not violate procedural norms, as he focused on documenting and ensuring compliance with all necessary procedures. However, key actions, such as the inspection of the crime scene, were carried out by other individuals not mentioned in the procedural documents.

The Supreme Court noted that involving additional participants for investigative actions is an organizational matter that does not affect the admissibility of evidence. Consequently, despite the identified violations during the inspection, the court deemed the materials valid.

The court also rejected the second motion from the defense, indicating that the court lacks the authority to initiate criminal proceedings, and any interference in the process at this stage is impermissible.

The victim in the "knife fight" in Mykolaiv was Yuriy Bohomyatkov, who was in pre-trial detention at the time of the full-scale invasion—he was a suspect in a extortion case.

Additionally, in a comment to "Novosti-N," Judge Volodymyr Aleynikov stated that the deceased was a serviceman who had been in pre-trial detention before the start of the full-scale invasion.
