This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Zaporizhia region.

On January 30, around 11:20 AM, the police received a report about the death of a 39-year-old man on the premises of a private residence.

At the scene, the investigative team discovered the man's body. To establish the circumstances, law enforcement officers interviewed a 38-year-old witness who explained that he had consumed alcoholic beverages with the deceased the day before. According to his testimony, the deceased, while intoxicated, had fallen to the floor multiple times, which led to the tragic outcome. However, the results of the forensic medical examination proved otherwise.

Authorities determined the actual causes of death and identified the person responsible for it. It turned out to be the same "witness." As it became clear, on the evening of January 29, a sudden argument erupted between the men, during which the suspect inflicted multiple blows to various parts of the victim's body, leading to the victim's subsequent death.

The offender has been notified of suspicion of committing a crime under Part 2 of Article 121 (Intentional serious bodily injury) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
