KIEV - Two Ukrainian police officers were arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday, accused of fatally shooting a five-year-old boy while drunkenly firing weapons at cans and bottles in the courtyard of an apartment building, officials said.
The boy Kyrylo Tliavov was taken to hospital with a head injury last week and died late on Monday, sparking protests by activists outside the interior ministry building. They lit flares and held placards saying “the police kill people”.The head of the provincial police force in the Kiev region, where the incident took place 80 km from the capital, resigned and asked to be transferred to the Donbass region where Ukraine is fighting a conflict with Russian-backed separatists.
“No softening. No attempt to hide this matter. This tragedy should become a lesson. Those who have to take care of the safety of citizens should remember their responsibility.”“Nobody wanted to kill this boy, who was five years old,” Andriy Chichirkin said. Activists on social media called for another protest on Wednesday, demanding the resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. Avakov has not commented on the case.
