In the Dnipropetrovsk region, in the village of Kudashivka, the body of Dmytro Shevchyk, former candidate for mayor of Kryvyi Rih and former general director of the Central Mining and Processing Plant, was found. The information was confirmed by the "Svoy" publication.
One of the main versions of Shevchyk's death is suicide. According to preliminary data, he could have shot himself with a Saiga hunting rifle. At the time of the tragedy, Shevchyk was survived by his wife and three sons.
Police are conducting an investigation at the scene, but the details of the incident remain unknown at this time.
Dmytro Shevchyk ran for mayor of Kryvyi Rih in 2020 from the Servant of the People party. He was defeated in the elections, taking third place, losing to Kostyantyn Pavlov from OPZZH, who later became mayor. Shevchyk won 26% of the vote, while Pavlov received 56.97% of voter support.
It is interesting that Kostyantyn Pavlov also tragically died, according to the police, by shooting himself. His death caused a public outcry, because two months after his death, his brother was found dead, who, according to law enforcement officers, was poisoned. A month later, his cousin hanged himself.
