1. Corpus Delicti 💿

20.07.2016 at 07:44 in Kyiv, a Subaru car driven by prominent journalist Pavlo Sheremet was blown up at the intersection of Ivan Franko and Bohdan Khmelnytsky streets.

This is just now a short video of the event

After the car explosion where the prominent journalist Pavlo Sheremet was inside, the latter was still alive for about 20 minutes, however he unfortunately died from his injuries.

Subsequently, numerous site inspections were conducted,

Exhibit 002

Top: During the inspection of the scene, a damaged car and a significant number of objects for investigation was seized. Bottom from left to right: Damaged car. Charred remnants of the electric EDP-r detonator nipple. Pelleting fragments of MON-50 mine and parts of the planting magnets

during which the remains of the explosion were seized, but what exactly was contained in them and in the fire debris was not known yet at that time. It was found that the epicenter of the explosion was under the bottom in the area of ​​the driver’s seat of the car.

Analysis by the Federal Bureau of Investigation 💿

Due to the gained significant public response, specialists from the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the US Department of Justice arrived in Ukraine,

 Exhibit 003

Inspection of the vehicle and the scene by specialists of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the US Department of Justice

who even more thoroughly inspected the scene and the car in which Sheremet was blown up. The car, or rather its remains after the explosion and fire, was disassembled at the car stands of the official representative of “Subaru” in Ukraine.

A similar car was dismantled by Subaru technicians to weed out parts of the blown-up car from alien objects. For example, foreign experts found the remains of a metal spherical object, which was later identified as a neodymium magnet. The chemical samples were sent by the FBI to the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, USA.

In the future, during the trial, numerous protocols will be attached, where these remnants of these things and objects that you now see on the slides were seized.

Immediately after inspecting the scene, the investigative team appointed a number of comprehensive examinations. The investigation was interested not only in who and how has planted the explosive, but also in the kind and type of the charge that was used for the crime.

2. Investigative experiment 💿

Please, open the evidence base and the Investigative Experiment tab

Thus, during these examinations, some items that were seized at the scene were identified. They were parts of the anti-personnel mine MON-50.

 Exhibit 004

Elements of  MON-50 mine, means of initiation and mounting. Remands of the magnet used for mounting. Detonator EDP-r elements. Element of the threaded bushing of the fuze well of a MON-50 mine.

falsehood about the components of the MON-50 💿

We just see now a slide show of some of these remnants left of the mine.

These were roller-type pellet fragments, a threaded bushing, a plastic plug and a nipple of electric detonator.

Exhibit 005

Top: Explosive device characteristics. On the left figure clockwise from noon: fragments, magnets, threaded fuze well bushing, plastic plug of EDP-r, EDP-r nipple, electric detonator EDP-r, executive mechanism, charge of an explosive substance. Bottom: Pavlo Sheremet’s car has been exploded by an explosive device consisting of MON-50 mine elements and mounted by magnets

lying that an explosive device is a MON-50 💿

We see a schematic representation of the MON-50 mine with its main characteristics, which was planted under Pavlo Sheremet’s car.

A comprehensive explosive examination was ordered to determine the explosive device.

 Exhibit 006

The circumstances established during the investigative experiment

During this examination, an investigative experiment was conducted, during which two cars were blown up. For this purpose, cobblestones seized right from the crime scene were used, as well as anti-personnel mines MON-50.

 Exhibit 007

Left: [pattern of] damage of Pavlo Sheremet’s car. Right: [pattern of] damage of the car after the experimental explosion

experimental hole in the car comes from a MON-50 💿

Right now, the screen shows the car where Pavlo Sheremet died, as well as the car that was used during the investigative experiment. And you can see that just under the driver’s seat there are the same (this is Pavlo Sheremet’s car and the car used in the investigative experiment) holes from the explosion of the MON-50 mine. They are identical and it was established that this is exactly the kind of improvised explosive device used in the murder of the prominent journalist.

lies about the “applied RDX” 💿

In addition, experts based on the results of research, including an investigative experiment in the field, calculated the amount of applied RDX , in TNT equivalent it was 478.4 g. Regular MON-50 contains 700 grams of plastic substance, i.e. half of the specified mine was used.

3. Young Communist League Report on Sisyphus’ Work 💿

Subsequently, law enforcement officers worked out the crime scene. And in order to facilitate the work and effectively work out the neighborhood [working out – Ukrainian police slang meaning complete inspection/investigation of] where the explosion took place, and where Pavlo Sheremet lived, for a more thorough search, the area was divided into 33 squares. There were about 500 residential buildings in them, which is about 5,000 apartments, which were worked out by the investigative task force.

The operative services traced the existing video cameras, the video of which was reserved to avoid overwriting and in parallel the video from more than 300 surveillance cameras was collected. A group of police officers was formed, who watched the video seized during the inspections almost around the clock. A number of investigative actions were carried out to separate persons from those permanently residing in the specified district.

More than 720 court permits have been obtained to seize information from mobile operators, 42,500 subscriber numbers, 15,300 IMEIs, monitorings.

Taxi services, whose cars arrived in the specified district in the number of more than 250 taxi drivers and their passengers, were worked out.

Groups of radicals, people with explosive ordnance skills, and volunteer battalion officers were inspected.

The version and motive of the crime were not left out either. More than 295 reviews and researches of publications and topics of broadcasts, personal notes of the victim, his e-mail and correspondence for the last three years have been performed. The identity of the victim was investigated, including working out of his articles, which are mostly analytical in nature to support of reforms in the state.

The staff of the Internet publishing house “Ukrainian Pravda” and  “Novi-Media LLC” was interrogated about the known circumstances of the crime and possible motives for the murder of Sheremet and Channel 17 news agency, who were the first to report live from the scene of the murder.

In addition, 95 complex examinations were conducted in the criminal proceedings, during which the media of the victim and the defendants, the car and fire debris, elements of the MON-50 and magnets, video from the scene were examined.

More than 50 searches were performed, during which video materials were seized and on, about whom there was operative information about involvement in the crime, were worked out.

Now I offer you to watch the videos watched.

4. Videos Watched 💿

Since then, individuals who came into the sight of police officers watching the video have been identified and segregated.

“by suspicious walk” 💿

During the inspections, a woman was found who was walking by suspicious gait on July 15 and 18, 2016 near the victim’s car and recording CCTV cameras on her phone.

We see one of these videos right now. This video will now clearly show her taking pictures of the cameras…

demonstrating bomb planters video 💿

Two individuals were also recorded – a man and a woman, who are at night at 02:41 a.m. 20.07.2016 passing  the Subaru car … now it will be visible further on video as the woman having approached the car and having squatted, plants something under it. Right now, in the right corner of the screen, you can see an explosive device planted under Pavlo Sheremet’s car. Later on, these two individuals keep moving. Their activity was monitored by a working group of law enforcement agencies.

about Antonenko’s logo on his back and clothes 💿

In the specified video there is an image of the man who has typical clothes with a print on a back, the corresponding pattern. Looking ahead, when we investigate the search reports, the defendant Antonenko was also found to have similar sweaters with the appropriate print, with the appropriate image.

It would be appropriate to point out that crimes of this category are not obvious and their commission requires very careful preparation. The pre-trial investigation not only examined the evidence of involvement, but also the evidence of non-involvement of the defendants.

Please open the results of the examinations.

identifying perpetrators as defendants 💿

 Exhibit 009

Top: The results of forensic gait analysis (forensic research by Ivan Birch). Left: Profile of Ivan Birch. Middle: full names of defendants. Right: features of nonverbal behavior on psychological grounds belong to the same person [citation of Ukrainian psychologists opinion]

Thus, according to the results of a commission expert examination by experts of psychologists of the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Examinations with the involvement of international specialist Ivan Birch, it was concluded that individuals recorded at the scene of Pavlo Sheremet’s murder who planted the explosive…  the video we’ve seen before have been identified as Yulia Kuzmenko and Andriy Antonenko, respectively.

Please open the “Hiding Evidence” tab

5. Hiding “evidence” 💿

On December 12, 2019, Antonenko, Kuzmenko and Duhar were first notified of the suspicion of committing an incriminated crime, and searches were launched during which the defendants began to hide material evidence.

 Exhibit 011

Top: Antonenko conceals a discharged MON-50 mine. Left: Messaging between Antonenko and Yermochenko Ruslan. Right top: MON-50 concealed by Antonenko. Bottom right: there is an abnormal hole in the mine case. For more information see exhibits 017-018

how and what Antonenko hid 💿

In particular, the defendant Antonenko, learning about the search and realizing that he could be exposed by law enforcement agencies in the murder of Pavlo Sheremet, hid the case of the MON-50 mine, which was kept at home, as well as the mobile phone through which he contacted his wife’s brother.

Here on the slide, if there is an opportunity to increase the correspondence… in this correspondence it is just a question… Antonenko writes that it is necessary to hide the green thing that is in his house, namely the discharged MON-50 mine. These materials were recorded during covert investigative (search) actions and in the future the relevant protocol will be submitted to the court for its examination.

 Exhibit 012

Top: Antonenko concealing the phone. Right: before the search, Antonenko was videotaped to have a mobile phone, which he later secretly handed over to a lawyer.

It is also stated that as already said on the account of the mobile phone from which Antonenko called and tried to hide material evidence in criminal proceedings he also handed the phone over to one of the lawyers who is not currently identified.

In addition, Yana Duhar, in turn, hid seven mobile phones she had previously used, books on explosives, as well as a bag with a set of sapper, which she kept in her rented apartment.

There is now a text of a conversation between Yana Duhar…

Yana Duhar. Talk about sapper bag 💿

You just listened…

 Exhibit 014

Top: Duhar hiding a set of sapper and phones. Right:General view of a miner’s bag

this is just a general view of the miner’s bag. We have just listened to a recording of the results of covert investigative (search) actions.

 Exhibit 015

Top: Kuzmenko concealing password for the phone. Left: iPhone 6. The phone used by Kuzmenko in 2016. Right: Kuzmenko concealed the password from the mobile phone seized during a search at first reporting its malfunction and then specifying the wrong password

Besides, Yulia Kuzmenko in turn concealed the password to the mobile terminal she used in 2016 – Apple iPhone-6, which was seized from her home, reporting its malfunction, and later – indicating the wrong password.

In addition to the mentioned forensic opinions, besides indicated materials, the guilt of the defendants is also proved by other evidence collected during the pre-trial investigation, which will be certainly provided by the prosecution during the further trial.

6. Proofs of Guilt 💿

 Exhibit 016

Top: The guilt of the individuals is proved by the following evidence. Right: The report on covert search (investigative) actions; clarification by experts; phone connections overview; social media overview; mobile devices overview

Left: Messaging between Antonenko and Yermochenko Ruslan. SMS messages (black phone on the left) “Rus. Take out the green thing from my closet and take it away from home and hide”. “Take away from my closet the green fucking thing. Take away and hide. In the bag.” Voice (white phone on the right) see exhibit 018. Right top: MON-50 concealed by Antonenko. Bottom right: there is an abnormal hole in the mine case

Antonenko’s conversation with brother-in-law 💿

These are exactly the materials of the covert investigative actions, which I have already reported on cover up – attempt to conceal physical evidence… this correspondence is on mine … case of the mines, discharged case of MON-50 mine which is similar to what was planted under Pavel Sheremet’s car. These are just sms-messages…

This telephone conversation took place after the sms-correspondence, because, according to the pre-trial investigation body, the prosecution, the individual was not responding the messages, so the phone call was made and the conversation is about the MON-50 mine, which defendant Antonenko asked to hide in his  sms-messages.

hole in MON-50 mine  💿

Expert clarification.

 Exhibit 019

Experts explain that the hole in the mine case which was hidden by Antonenko, is not provided by the factory design and is probably made for a non-standard detonation mode of the part of the MON-50 ( half of the MON-50 charge was used to explode Pavlo Sheremet as well)

So. The explanation of the experts on the discharged MON-50 mine, which Antonenko tried to hide, states that the hole in the mine case, which Antonenko hid, is not provided by the design and is probably made for an abnormal method of detonating of the MON-50 segment. Half of the MON-50 charge was also used in the bombing of Pavel Sheremet. That is similar to the mine under Pavlo Sheremet’s car.

Similarly, in the period of 8:16 p.m. 19.07 to 9:19 a.m. 20.07, the mobile phone used by Kuzmenko was not active, which is not typical for her as well.

 Exhibit 028

Top: Information from social media about connection between Antonenko and Grishchenko Inna P. Bottom: Grishchenko I.P. is now accused in the criminal case where an explosive device was used similar to one applied for murder of Sheremet

We also see photos from social networks regarding Antonenko’s connection with Gryshchenko, who is accused in another criminal case. We provide these files to the court and the participants of the trial more likely as characterizing data of the defendant Antonenko and his connection with other participants in other criminal proceedings, as well as the fact that the same improvised explosive device was used in committing the criminal offense in which Grishchenko is currently accused, device similar to one used for Sheremet’s murder.

talk about the murder of Oleg Kunitsky 💿

 Exhibit 029

Top: Information from social media about communication between Antonenko and Kuzmenko. Text: 02.07.2017 K:Delete your post, Riff, there is a real murderer there. Information classified. – A: Are you about 8th [division]? – K:Yes – A:Where is the info from? – K:The guy already has shown where the body is buried.

It is not the right place for discussions. – K:Ok

This is also Kuzmenko’s correspondence with Antonenko. I also ask you to pay attention to one of these details “come on tomorrow, it’s not a good place of discussing this matter.” That is, they act in disguise, disguise, realizing that the law enforcement agencies can read this correspondence during covert investigative (search) actions, record it in accordance with the requirements of the law.

 Exhibit 030

Top: the results of the review of Kuzmenko’s account in social media. Right: First activity 20.07.2016 was recorded at 09:22 – left a comment on Anna Kuzmynchuk’s page “fucked up” (post unknown). 09:29 20.07.2016 Kuzmenko Yu. performed a search query “Sheremet Pavel Grigorievich”

Will you pause? Also … the next slide now is Kuzmenko’s conversation with Ulyanov Volodymyr. Now you will hear what exactly is being said about the possible commission of a certain crime.

Well, I think everyone has heard, in principle, there are no additional comments, as it were,… Next…

geotag manipulation 💿

 Exhibit 033

Top: Kuzmenko’s mobile phone review. There was a geotag saved on Kuzmenko’s phone, which proves her stay on 19.07.2016 at 3:56:33 near Lev Tolstoy Square in Kyiv, which is a few blocks from Sheremet’s house and this contradicts her testimony that she was at home that night

During the pre-trial investigation it was also established that Kuzmenko’s phone had a label with geodata, which confirms the fact of her stay on 19.07.2016 at 3:56:33 near Lev Tolstoy Square in Kyiv, which is a few blocks from Sheremet’s house that of course contradicts her testimony given at the pre-trial investigation that she was at home that night.

This is also an sms-correspondence between Kuzmenko and Antonenko, a more detailed review protocol will be provided later, it just confirms once again that they know each other and talked quite often.

7. Characteristics of the defendants 💿

 Exhibit 036

Top: Lack of cooperation with the investigation. Despite the categorical position of the accused regarding non-involvement in the commission of the crime and the desire to cooperate fully with the investigation in this regard, the latter refuse to take investigative and procedural actions. Antonenko: – refused to take part in investigative experiment – declined the polygraph test. Kuzmenko: – declined the polygraph test – declined the common interrogation with Antonenko. Duhar: – refused to hive handwriting samples – declined the polygraph – refused to pass forensic psychiatric examination – declined height measurement

Well, it is only left to review the presentation of the characteristics of the defendants.

procedural behavior – “they refused” 💿

As for the characteristics, I can say that during the pre-trial investigation, Antonenko, now the defendant, refused to conduct an investigative experiment with his participation, refused to undergo a forensic psychological examination using a polygraph.

In turn, Kuzmenko refused to undergo a forensic psychological examination using a polygraph, and refused to conduct a simultaneous interrogation with Antonenko.

Duhar, in turn, at the stage of pre-trial investigation refused to provide handwriting samples for handwriting examination, and refused to undergo forensic psychological examination using a polygraph. She refused to undergo a forensic psychiatric examination, to measure her height.

I also want to draw the attention of the court, the participants in the process, because in the future, perhaps, the defense will provide the relevant documents, including the conclusions of the examinations. Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to this, at the stage of the pre-trial investigation for some reason the defendants refused to conduct certain investigative actions and participate in certain examinations.

again about Gryshchenkos – lies on the connection with another crime 💿

 Exhibit 037

13:07:2018 at 11:45 Chekurak discovered IED in the yard of his own farm

This applies to the defendants’ connection with the Gryshchenko family, who are currently accused of attempted murder of Mr. Chekurak in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, where similar improvised explosive devices were used, as well as magnets used to attach an improvised explosive device to the bottom of the car.

 Exhibit 038

Top: characteristics of the explosive device. For the attempt on Chekurak an improvised explosive device was used, for the attachment of which neodymium magnets were applied

This is a method of attaching an improvised explosive device, similar to the assassination attempt on Mr. Chekurak.

 Exhibit 039

Identification of persons who directly planted explosives during the murder attempt of Chekurak

These are also common ties between the persons involved in the assassination attempt on Chekurak, their connection, including Vladislav Gryshchenko.

 Exhibit 040

Defendants connection with suspects in other crimes

This is exactly the defendant Antonenko, who is captured in the photo together with Gryshchenko Inna, Gryshchenko’s wife, as we have already seen, just mentioned. We see Kuzmenko and Duhar at the court hearing, when Gryshchenko was chosen a preventive measure. Also a close acquaintance Kuzmenko Kiyan arrived in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, took away the vehicle… further handed over keys from it to the defendant in our proceedings Yana Duhar.

insinuations with Antonenko’s beard, fake date 💿

 Exhibit 041

Antonenko statement about beard of the “planter”. Antonenko pictures of different periods of time.

As for Antonenko’s beard, the defendant Antonenko is depicted on the left — his photo in the period… different period of the year… And we see that he has the same different beard shape as well as the person who is fixed on a video we watched as one of the planters of the mine.

how Yana Duhar went AWOL 💿

 Exhibit 042

Top: Information on leaving the place of service Left: Charter of the internal service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine article 216. Citation says that leaving should be reported in written. Bottom left: Absent 22 days in total.

As for the characterizing data of the accused Dugar Yana… during the pre-trial investigation it was established that the latter was repeatedly absent without official leave… This is just a telephone conversation about what can be misleading…

Yana Duhar’s funny conversation “The Internet is over” 💿

If you listen to this audio file, I believe that it is necessary to be critical of the defendant’s testimony in the future and to investigate all the circumstances carefully, if she speaks further, given what we have just listened to.

insinuations with signatures of Yana Duhar and “reconnaissance books” 💿

 Exhibit 044

Top: information of search of the hospital. During an authorized search on the territory of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Western Region at 26 Ochakivska Street, Lviv, medical records were seized, namely medical histories of servicemen treated in July 2016 at the 66th military medical hospital in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. Bottom: The opinion of the forensic handwriting examination conducted 14.02.2020 established that the records “Novocaine m.n. Duhar” were made not in July 2016 but later than November 2016

Also on the slide now, the slides show the clinical records of some patients at the military hospital where Yana Dugar served. Relevant examinations were also carried out and it was established that the recordings made by Yana Duhar were not made in July, but later in November 2016. There was also evidence that Dugar was capable of misleading and that she said she was in hospital at the time of the crime, as confirmed by several defense witnesses. However, about 50 servicemen, who were in hospital in Pokrovsk at the time, were interrogated and refuted all the testimony of the defendant Duhar.

 Exhibit 045

Top:Information on the search at the place of service. Two books were seized during an authorized search of the military unit A1126 located at: Dnipropetrovsk region, Gvardiyske township

This is a sample reconnaissance books.

Basically if so take a brief summary… this is generally much more material available to the prosecution, it will be prepared and will later be submitted to the court for consideration.

Also, given the amount of evidence collected, as well as the position of the prosecution [error:defense] regarding the non-admission of guilt in committing the crimes incriminated in it, the prosecution proposes to investigate all materials collected during the pre-trial investigation, in the following order:

Beginning with the study of written evidence, namely documents and appendices to them, continue with the study of physical evidence. Further examine the written evidence of the defense, which was disclosed in accordance with Article 290 of the CPC of Ukraine to the prosecution during the pre-trial investigation, then interrogate prosecution witnesses, a list of which will be provided in the form of a motion, interrogate experts and specialists who participated and conducted expert research in criminal proceedings, as far as we have a lot of problems due to examinations conducted in criminal proceedings, to interrogate witnesses of the defense if there are relevant motions, hereafter question the defendants and to finish with the interrogation of victims. I believe that such a procedure for examining the evidence will be sufficient to establish the truth in criminal proceedings and to take a relevant lawful and a substantiated decision.

That’s all I have. I would also like to attach the written text of the opening speech together on the disk on which the presentation we just watched is written. The list of witnesses is indicated in the register of pre-trial investigation materials, but in my opinion there is no need to summon all witnesses mentioned in the register of pre-trial investigation materials, the prosecution has prepared a motion, the measures will be taken as well to provide certain number of witnesses in order not to delay the trial within a reasonable time. I also ask to attach a motion indicating witnesses and their addresses.
