According to Venediktova, the incident occurred in February when Shashamarin shot and killed an unarmed individual in the Sumy region. The victim had been riding a bicycle.
The victim was a yet unidentified 62-year-old man, who had been returning home when he was shot in the head by the Russian militants.
