9-17-2018 Torbin didn’t plead guilty in the court. He stated that he is persecuted “because of his civic activities”. Torbin complained that since was taken into custody there were no investigative actions applied to him and that he was held in a solitary confinement cell of a temporary detention facility. The suspect also said he was ready to take part in the investigation, but believes he would be better off under house arrest. After consulting, the panel of judges had decided to keep Torbin in custody….
Let us recall you that in the first instance court, Vasyanovych hadn’t admitted his guilt. “My role in this criminal offense is that on July 31 I brought people from Tsyurupynsk (the former name of the city of Oleshka – Ed.) to Kherson, and after an hour or two I brought them back. I didn’t think that such a harm would be done to the victim since on the eve of assault Serhiy Torbin told us that we have to ‘scare’ victim by pouring an acid on her hand or foot,” Vasyanovych said. https://opinionua.com/en/2018/09/17/assassination-attempt-against-handziuk/

POKROVSKE, Ukraine -- A court in Ukraine's eastern Dnipropetrovsk region has sentenced five men to prison terms in the high-profile case surrounding the death of anti-corruption activist Kateryna Handzyuk.
Handzyuk, a 33-year-old civic activist and adviser to the mayor of the Black Sea port city of Kherson, died in November -- three months after she was severely injured in an acid attack near her home in the southern city of Kherson….The five men were initially charged with murder but that was eventually lessened to inflicting severe bodily harm. https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-court-sentences-five-men-in-activist-s-death-following-acid-attack/29985142.html
