Tortured Journalist’s Body Returned to Ukraine: Organs Missing, Signs of Brutality
Journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna’s body, returned to Ukraine after death in Russian custody, showed extensive signs of torture, including abrasions, bruises, a broken rib, and possible electric shock. A Russian autopsy had removed vital organs, including the brain and eyeballs, potentially concealing evidence of strangulation or suffocation. Despite the body’s condition, a 99% DNA match confirmed her identity. The investigation has been reclassified as a war crime and premeditated murder.
