"We think that
Mr. Lovygin P.A. was killed with a firearm in his head…" - from
the request to the general prosecutor's office.
The Kherson press wrote about murder of the Transport police inspector
Mr. Lovygin, which occurred in Antonovka. The press also wrote about sufferings
of his mother. Within the recent four years since her son's murder, Mrs.
Lovygina tries to find out how and why it had happened, who is guilty
and why the guilty person has not been punished yet.
And all these years the police and judges ensure her that her son was
killed in an accident and no one is guilty. According to the official
version, on January 14, 2000 during a military training called "Sirena"
the gun accidentally fired. The inspector himself participated in the
training and the mock seizure.
That day (from his mother's explanations to the General Prosecutor): "Mr.
Lovygin together with Mr. Ivanov played the role of criminals and were
driving the car… they approached a police station, where according to
the request of Mr. Shevkovich they had to stop and step out of the car,
put their hands on cowling and stand. According to the witnesses, Mr.
Shevkovich knew that the training "Sirena" was a trial military
seizure. The police station was informed about this through the police
radio network.
Nevertheless, when Mr. Lovygin and his partner were still in the car,
Mr. Shevkovich turned his gun off the safety mode and pushed a cartridge
to the chamber… Then he conducted a search of Mr. Ivanov and took away
his gas pistol. After this Mr. Shevkovich aimed the gunpoint at the ribs
of Mr. Lovygin and in 10 seconds the shot was heard…"
This is how a person's life ended. Mr. Shevkovich who shut the gun was
an employee of Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and in some time he
was amnestied. No one from the MIA was called to account, and General
Ivushkin, who headed regional branch of the MIA at the time of this accident
received promotion. Here is what the mother wrote to the General prosecutor's
office "… in result, the investigator named more than twenty violations
by the officials of MIA in Kherson region, and then he himself shut down
the criminal case due to absence of corpus delicti…"
Galina Ivnovna, the mother, is sure that such contradictions in actions
of MIA officials, unwillingness of prosecutors to fully inspect the case
show that the official version of her son's death is only a rapidly composed
legend.
From the same request: "…on January 17, 2000 during the funeral ceremony
the deceased did not have any makeup on. The punch in the eyebrow, presumably
with the gun butt, bruises near eyes were not covered with make up, there
was a dent on the forehead with the diameter of firearm, which was covered
with white powder. We think that Mr. Lovygin P.A. was killed with a firearm
in his head …"
The request also named a number of other negligence that law-enforcement
bodies made during investigation of the crime committed by the policeman.
Galina Ivanovna will fight further, even if the General prosecutor's office
will only write a formal letter in response to her request for explanation.
She already has experience in vigil - a lot of newspapers wrote about
people with posters who surrounded the White house. They demanded fair
trail and punishment of MIA employees. If their demands are ignored, they
promised to refuse form Ukrainian citizenship.
Last names of the MIA employee who killed Mr. Lovygin and his partner
are changed.
