A Ukrainian military intelligence officer has walked back his confession in connection with the killing of Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman suspected of carrying out a June bomb attack in Monaco that wounded oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev and his family. The officer, a serving member of Ukraine's military intelligence agency HUR, told a Kyiv court he had confessed out of fear for his life and claimed his co-defendant — a former law enforcement officer — had fired the fatal shots. Both men remain in custody without bail after a court ruling this week; Berezovska's body, discovered during a crime-scene reconstruction, showed gunshot wounds to the head, and investigators say the former officer's home basement appeared to have been used as a torture chamber.
