A mother accuses the law enforcement bodies in Edineţ district of investigating with violations the circumstances in which her 25-year-old son was murdered at the start of last August. The woman wrote tens of letters to the authorities in the hope that the truth will become known.
In a news conference at IPN, Angela Paleva said her son died at the door of the intensive care section and doctors didn’t really make effort to save his life. A number of proofs are absent from the case, including video recordings that can shed light in this case. Pictures of the place were attached selectively. She cannot obtain the deciphering of her son’s telephone conversations so as to build a picture of what happened. After analyzing the documents attached to the file and the information she learned post-factum about the evening of the tragedy, she determined that many things were omitted or were hidden intentionally. As a result, the case was classed as ordinary murder, not as murder committed with special cruelty.
The family’s lawyer Victor Panţâru said the victim was stabbed for at least 13 times. What followed after the night of August 7, 2019, when the victim was stabbed, shows the investigation bodies had an interest in hiding the truth or were unable to objectively and correctly examine a crime. The materials of the case reveal gross incompetence of the Edineţ law enforcement bodies in investigating this case. The attached materials suggest drugs were taken before the tragedy, but the performed medical examination does not confirm the use of drugs. This is serious as the forensic laboratories do not have the reactive substances needed to confirm the presence or absence of drugs in human bodies.
Victor Panţâru related that the authorities were informed about the tragedy at 00.35am on August 7, 2019. The ambulance arrived at 00.40am, while the police came in over 40 minutes. The doctors didn’t intervene until then even if the victim had open wounds and was bleeding. They waited for the police to come and take pictures of the scene. The actions that followed describe the behavior of the police and ambulance doctors towards a body, not towards a person who was still alive. The prosecutors said the inaction of doctors was something normal and didn’t conduct a probe.
