Today Head of Media Relations of the Russia’s Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin has given a representative of the Russia Today International News Agency parts of photojournalist Andrey Stenin’s camera and fragments of a number plate he was in at the moment when he was killed. Mr. Markin noted: “We have run a test which confirmed that these are parts of Stenin’s camera and the number plate of the car Stenin was in when he was killed. We remind you how important it is to remember about your heroic colleague, that is why investigators decided to give you these objects. I hope they will be available for the public as a reminder about a terrible tragedy that happened to our journalists and is happening in Ukraine in general. Maybe, someday, they will be a part of a journalistic museum of the Russia Today”.
Investigators got this material evidence on 29 September from representatives of the Donetsk People’s Republic, who had found it while examining the shelled motor convoy.
Andrey Stenin was on a mission from the news agency since 13 May and was working in Kiev, Donetsk, Luhansk, Slavyansk and Mariupol. On 6 August, together with representatives of Information Corps internet news outlet Sergey Korenchenkov and Andrey Vyachalo and others he was going on the road Snezhnoye-Dmitrovka in a car as part of a motor convoy, which was then shelled by security forces of Ukraine from heavy launch vehicles. More than 10 vehicles carrying civilians were destroyed, including the one with Stenin inside.
The Main Investigations Directorate continues investigating a criminal case over the murder of Andrey Stenin and other civilians.
