'Tortured then executed': Ukrainians face a fight for justice - even when the war is over
"We understand now that the second man is a civilian and was tortured. He had been riding on his bicycle near to Russian positions and he was detained, tortured, and then executed" police chief Niebytov says.
Vadym Evdokymenko didn't know where his father was for months. Just 20 years old, he was training in Kyiv to be a hairstylist when the war broke out. Russian forces invaded the pretty suburb of Bucha where he lived with his parents.He last heard from his father on 2 March. After losing contact, Vadym managed to escape Bucha with his mother seven days later. He's now learned his father sought refuge in a garage with four other people after Russian forces entered the town.
"But during the investigation, ten bullet casings were found inside and the bones were doused with gasoline." Vadym knows the nickname of one of the soldiers who he believes is behind his father's death. But the idea of prosecution or justice while the country is still consumed by war feels remote.
