| 26.01.2024 | Перед тюрьмой у него была проблема с ногами, возможно суставы - он ходил с подлокотным костылем. Жаловался, что состояние ухудшилось после ШИЗО, куда его помешали накануне. Когда его вели на ПКТ у него костыль забрали. Видели как он выходил, держась рукой за стену общежития. Из разговоров с ним он сказал, что его жену убили, а дочь похитили (намекая, видимо, что его жена умерла в больнице из-за низкого уровня медицины, а дочь, оставленную без попечителей, отправили в интернат). |
