Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky District Court on September 12 will continue to consider criminal proceedings against Yaroslav Tarasenko and Oleksandr Los, who are accused of being accomplices in the murder of ex Russian Duma deputy Denis Voronenkov in Kyiv.

The lawyer for Los is on vacation until August 14.

The court said the automated system will be used for identifying seven jurors, of which five (three primary and two alternate) should be selected to consider this case.

As earlier reported, Los was a co-organizer of the crime. He organized two drivers and a killer, whereas Tarasenko was the driver of a Lanos car, on which the killer arrived.

Voronenkov was killed in central Kyiv on March 23. The assassin, Pavlo Parshov, was wounded by the former deputy’s security guard and later died at a hospital.
