Was the escapee caught and… killed?

Information has been received that a convict, D. V. (born in 1985), who resided in the Lviv region, has died in Penal Institution (hereinafter — PI) No. 42 in the urban-type settlement of Manevychi, Volyn region. D. V. was serving his sentence in a settlement colony attached to PI-42, from where he had escaped. According to unverified information, he was detained by one of the police stations in the Odesa region. On 20 April 2011, staff from PI-42 transported the escapee under escort to the disciplinary isolation ward (DIZO) of PI-42.
At 6:30 a.m. on 21 April 2011, the death of the convict was pronounced at PI-42. No information regarding the death was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) Directorate in the Volyn region.
There is information that during his detention by MIA officers, his escort, and his delivery to PI-42, D. V. was alive and well.
Convicts report that the duty shift at PI-42, during which the convict was likely killed, was fond of conducting ‘preventive educational measures’ in the institution’s DIZO and the high-security section.
Representatives of the Penitentiary Service Directorate in the Volyn region have been at the colony for two days. More complete information regarding this incident is expected shortly.
