Former BYT lawmaker Viktor Lozinsky, who was convicted of the premeditated murder of Valeriy Oliynyk, a resident of Kirovohrad region, was moved to Boryspil Penal Colony No. 119 (Kyiv region) on April 14, the press office of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine has reported.

The press service said that Lozinsky is being held in the colony “without any privileges.”

As reported, on June 16, 2009, Oliynyk, a 55-year-old resident of Kirovohrad region, died following an incident involving Lozinsky, the former prosecutor of the Holovanivsk district, Yevhen Horbenko, and the former chief of the district police department, Mykhailo Kovalsky.

In April 2011, Dniprovsky District Court in Kyiv sentenced Lozinsky to 15 years in prison for the murder of Valeriy Oliynyk, a resident of Holovanivsk district in Kirovograd region, as well as for the illegal possession and use of firearms and ammunition.

The persons involved in the “Lozinsky case” were sentenced to various terms in prison: former prosecutor of Holovanivsk district Yevhen Horbenko to nine years in prison, former head of the Holovanivsk district department of police Mykhailo Kovalsky to five years in prison with a three-year probation period, and Holovanivsk forestry huntsman Vasyl Perepelytsia to four years in prison.

On March 26, 2012, Kyiv’s Court of Appeal commuted the sentence to Lozinsky by reducing the term of imprisonment by one year.
