The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv sent the MP of the "Motherland" faction Andriy Nikolayenko, who hit an 18-year-old girl to death, to 24-hour house arrest.
This is reported by UNN.
He will be under house arrest with an electronic bracelet until January 4.
Nikolayenko disagrees with the precautionary measure and will file an appeal.
"I do not create a public danger. It would be better if the investigators took away my driverʼs license, rather than deprive me of the opportunity to work in the Verkhovna Rada. I will work online," said Nikolayenko.
- On November 3, 2023, at around 10:00 a.m. on the Kyiv-Chop highway, near the village of Berezivka (Kyiv region), Andriy Nikolayenko hit an 18-year-old girl who was crossing the road. The girl died on the spot. The MP himself stated that he was sober and did not break the rules, but "the tragedy could not be avoided." He promises to contribute to the investigation and pass all examinations. On November 6, Nikolayenko received suspicion.
