The court found a 41-year-old resident of Odesa Oblast<\/strong> guilty, who together with an accomplice carried out a brutal robbery attack on an elderly farmer couple<\/strong> in Kryve Ozero<\/strong> in the Mykolaiv region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> on June 11, 2026 by the Pervomaiskyi District Police Department<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred in early December 2023<\/strong>. The crime was reported to law enforcement by the victim.<\/p>\n

As established by the police, the attacker ambushed the 76-year-old homeowner<\/strong> on the street when he went out for firewood. The perpetrator tied the man up and wrapped his head with clothing.<\/p>\n

After that he entered the house, where he also tied the victim’s wife.<\/p>\n

Threatening with a weapon and using physical violence, the attacker forced the homeowner to reveal where the money was kept.<\/p>\n

According to the investigation, he tortured the pensioner by applying a switched-on iron to his back, and also threatened to cut off his ear.<\/p>\n

Having learned the hiding place, the perpetrator took 4,000 US dollars<\/strong>, 20,000 hryvnias<\/strong>, mobile phones, a laptop, bank cards, a dashcam, a tuner and documents.<\/p>\n

The total amount of damage exceeded 167,000 hryvnias<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
