The suspect in the murder of Faryon attempted to stage a suicide in court

Vyacheslav Zinchenko, the defendant in the case of the murder of Iryna Farion, pretended to attempt suicide in the dock during a hearing at the Shevchenkivskyi District Court in Lviv.

He reacted this way to the court’s decision to proceed to the debate stage, despite his request to postpone the proceedings.

This was his reaction to the court’s decision to proceed to the debate phase, despite his request to postpone it, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

The defendant requested that the closing arguments be postponed due to poor health caused by a hunger strike. However, the panel of judges decided to proceed with the closing arguments.

In an emotional statement, Zinchenko’s mother called the court’s actions a mockery of her son. At that moment, Zinchenko raised his sweater over his head to tie it to the bars, demonstrating his intention to commit suicide.

Security guards were sent into the courtroom to the defendant, and he was handcuffed.

After that, the court retired to the deliberation room.

Zinchenko also claimed that his cell was being bugged and said that if this was not included in the case file, he would repeat the “show.” According to the defendant, his actions with the sweater were premeditated to interrupt the court session and prevent the proceedings from taking place.

The suspectin Parubiy’s murder approached the Russians himself — SBU.

The family of the murdered Parubiyis demanding 15 million hryvnias in moral damages.

As a reminder, the SBU has referred the case of Andriy Parubiy’s murder to court.

On August 30, 2025, the National Police reported that Andriy Parubiy, a well-known Ukrainian public and political figure, had been killed in Lviv.
