Yana Duhar, suspect in Sheremet case, to undergo psychiatric examination
An examination of handwriting and psychiatric condition has been ordered for the suspect in the case of murder of the journalist Pavel Sheremet, as ZMINA human rights center reported referring to Duhar’s defense counsel Vitaliy Kolomiets.
According to Kolomiets, the defense lawyers could not see the ruling on psychiatric and handwriting expertise.
“We, as defense party, cannot decide on our participation or non-participation in these procedural actions, ” Kolomiets noted.
Also, the rulings on handwriting samples don’t comply with the article of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to which the law enforcement officers referred, as Kolomiets said.
