Over seven years after Cherkasy journalist Vasyl Serhiyenko was abducted and murdered, the trial of his suspected killers has been moved from a court that seems to have been doing everything to ensure that the case never ends in conviction. Most importantly, it has been moved from the Cherkasy oblast where a person widely suspected of having commissioned the crime wields considerable influence. The fact that the trial will begin from scratch will make little difference as it had scarcely moved since 2017, with all of the defendants, gradually being released from custody.
