Judge Victor Popras postponed the announcement of his decision on Wednesday at two o'clock in the afternoon. At the same time, at the meeting today, the prosecution demanded the extension of both arrestees for another 60 days without the right to deposit a pledge.

However, the positions of the accused in this decision were divided. Elena Zaitseva stated that she would not protest against further stay in the remand center, and lawyers Gennady Dronov did not agree with the prosecutor's demands, saying that their client believed that the prosecutor returned to the risks that had already been refuted.

Dronov's lawyer petitioned the court to ease the measure of restraint from custody for house arrest.

In addition, the participants of the accident with their lawyers voiced opposing views on the consideration of the merits of the case. Defense of Dronov, opposed the transfer of the indictment to the court, because "it is too early to talk about it," while according to Zaitseva, the trial can already begin.

Against the transfer of charges in the current form were also expressed by lawyers Dmitry Marzon, representing the four victims of the accident, and Ekaterina Kalyuzhnaya, who defends the family of Berchenko. The remaining representatives of the victims did not see any violations in the act that needed further work.

Recall that on the evening of October 18, 2017 in Kharkov at the intersection of Sumskaya Street and Mechnikov Lane car Lexus RX under the management of 20-year-old Elena Zaitseva collided with a car Volkswagen Touareg.

As a result of the collision, five pedestrians aged 19 to 46 died on the spot, another injured, 24-year-old Diana Berchenko, later died in a hospital from a traumatic shock amid an extremely serious head injury with developed cerebral edema. In addition, injuries of varying severity were received by five people.

As reported URA-Inform, Elena Zaitseva found guilty of violating the rules of the road in Kharkov, which resulted in the death of six people. However, despite this, the girl will take into account the mitigating circumstance in the deadly accident.
