Vasil Hrodnikau Death in Suspicious Circumstances

There was blood on his head and blood spots on walls and a bro­ken stool. The foren­sic exam­i­na­tion stat­ed that he died from a trau­mat­ic brain injury as a result of «con­tact with a blunt object». How­ev­er, the prosecutor’s office refused to open a crim­i­nal case claim­ing the death was non-vio­lent. The rel­a­tives and col­leagues of the vic­tim doubt the offi­cial state­ment.

They sup­pose that the death was con­nect­ed with his jour­nal­ist work on some arti­cles con­nect­ed with neg­a­tive high­light of the KGB and the Min­istry of Home Affairs. The jour­nal­ists who vis­it­ed his house after the mur­der said there were too many spots of blood in dif­fer­ent rooms of the build­ing. It cre­at­ed an impres­sion that some oth­er peo­ple had been in the house and it should have led to open­ing a crim­i­nal case.
