During the exchange of 757 remains of the Ukrainians in February, the body of the Ukrainian journalist was sent to her home country without her brain, eyes or larynx and with signs of electric shocks. The investigation found that the mutilation was probably intended to cover signs of torture, New York Post reported. Her body was returned to Ukraine one and a half years after she disappeared from the Russian occupied Ukrainian territories in August 2023.
Victoria Roshchyna was reportedly kidnapped and killed by the Russians. Her body was referred to as a “unidentified man” when it was handed over, the report said. The New York Post report said that the unusual “spa” designation found on the Russian list may indicate the officially recorded cause of death, which could mean “complete arterial heart damage”.
After walking through the Russian territory, a 27 -year -old was assigned to the Moscow part of the Zeporizhzhia region of the Zaporizhzhia region. She remained missing until April 2024, when her father was informed by a letter to the Russian Defense Ministry, stating that she was held in custody in Russia, AFP reported.
The prosecutors told the Ukrainian outlet of Hromadske that her father had insisted on further foreign tests.
The body shows signs of torture
The body clearly showed signs of torture, which include abrasions, bleeding, broken ribs and possible evidence of electric shocks, head of the Ukrainian General Representative Office for War Crimes, Yuriy Belousov, informed the truth.
The message added a bruise on her neck, maybe suggesting strangulation. He mentioned the official cause of death is still unsurpassed because of the mummified state of the body, while the Ukrainian office of the prosecutor organized further tests.
“The body of Victoria Roshchyna is in Ukraine. The journalistic body was returned as part of the exchange at the end of February,” said Ukrainian legislator Yaroslav Yurchyshyn.
Yurchyshyn said, “Given the torturing and condition of the body of Roshchyn’s family, the family did not ask for one, but several DNA tests.”
