Local residents are eager to punish the killers
A brutal murder occurred near Donetsk, which received a great response in society. At night from Friday to Saturday, armed people broke into a private house on Donetskaya Street, shooting everyone who was inside. Nine people died, including two children. Details of the tragedy are in the MK material.
According to the Investigative Committee, a criminal case has been initiated under Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.” The motives and identities of the killers have yet to be established. One version is a domestic conflict. According to the supposed orientation posted on the Telegram channel “Typical Donetsk”, two suspects of thin build may be riding a motorcycle and wearing military uniform.
Based on photographs from the scene of the tragedy posted on the Internet, it can be assumed that the victims were shot in their sleep from weapons using silencers. In the photographs you can even see shell casings on the floor, and on the tables there are drinks and food left over from the holiday. Household members are lying in different rooms, hugging each other, with multiple bullet wounds on their bodies. Children are next to their parents. However, the motive was clearly not family robbery. It is reported that no things are missing, everything in the house is in its place.
Those killed were the extended Kapkanets family. The day before, they gathered to celebrate the birthday of 51-year-old Tatyana Kapkanets, which was attended by both family members and guests.
The head of the family and its oldest member, 53-year-old Eduard Kapkanets, was also present there. Among those killed were his sons and their families — 31-year-old Andrei, his wife Natalya, and 25-year-old Alexander.
“I love you!” — reads the status of Alexander Kapkanets on the social network Vkontakte, apparently dedicated to his wife, 27-year-old Ekaterina Khatinskaya, who was shot dead with him.
Also among those killed is her 20-year-old brother, Dmitry Khatinsky. The killers did not spare two children — four-year-old Nikita and elementary school student Nastya. Even under Ukraine, Eduard was registered by the tax inspectorate as an individual entrepreneur selling goods on the market. His data still remains in the Ukrainian registry, but registration was stopped in 2017.
“They knew them quite distantly,” one of the local residents told MK, “The family was large, but not rich. Ordinary people, they had nothing special to steal from, lived quite simply. They say that they tried to take away their house, but it is quite simple and inexpensive.
They had a car — a simple foreign car. It’s unclear what kind of animal would kill an entire family over something like this. Something is unclean there. The situation in Volnovakha is somewhat reminiscent of the famous tragedy in Kushchevka. Then the reason for the murder of an entire family was a business dispute. What happened in this case remains to be seen. Now people in the city are very indignant, everyone wants justice.»
