“Five theories behind this crime are being considered – suicide in a state of emotional unrest, suicide committed due to professional activity in the post of acting director, suicide due to family relationship, suicide due to possible conflicts during the service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and an accident caused by careless handling of firearms,” the media liaisons office of Mykolaiv regional police reported on March 20.
The police said that all possible theories were being considered so as to prove or refute each of them when evidence is obtained on the basis of examinations and investigative actions.
