The husband of a New Moscow resident who was killed while walking a dog has been released from a temporary detention facility. This development was reported by the Telegram channel 112.
Authorities previously detained the husband from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on suspicion of involvement in his wife’s death, which occurred on the evening of September 5, 2022. During questioning, he stated that during the couple’s walk an unidentified person asked them to muzzle the dog. An argument followed, and a passerby fired at the woman in the head. The husband said he did not witness the shot because he was momentarily focused on his dog when the incident happened.
Law enforcement officials noted that the husband left his injured wife and returned home with the dog shortly after the shooting. The decision to release him from temporary detention was influenced by a lack of compelling evidence tying him to the crime, according to investigators.
Earlier reports indicated that an unknown individual near New Moscow shot a woman who was walking a dog on a leash.
Given the evolving nature of the case, prosecutors and investigators continue to review all available materials. They emphasize that the investigation remains active, with a focus on identifying the shooter and clarifying the sequence of events that led to the fatal confrontation. In contemporary updates, officials reiterate the importance of verifying timelines, witness statements, and any physical evidence collected at the scene. The community awaits further findings as the inquiry expands to include additional testimonies and potential surveillance footage. (Telegram channel 112)
