At night, while the mother and daughter were sleeping, the man tied the woman up, plugged the prepared electric wire into an outlet, and electrocuted her.
Then he went to the room where his 30-year-old daughter was sleeping, wrapped a piece of wire around her neck and strangled her with it.

During the trial, the accused did not admit his guilt and did not repent of his actions. In addition, the man tried to leave the territory of Ukraine after committing the crimes.
