The man accused of killing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska sparked outrage in the courtroom after appearing to mock the grieving family during proceedings.
Witnesses say the suspect smirked and made dismissive remarks as the victim’s relatives spoke about the pain of losing their daughter, sister, and friend. Family members were visibly shaken, with some breaking down in tears while others shouted back at him in anger.
The judge quickly intervened, warning the defendant that his behavior would not be tolerated. “This court will not allow you to disrespect the family of the victim,” the judge said sternly.
The shocking display has since gone viral online, with thousands condemning his lack of remorse. Many called it “heartless” and “inhuman,” demanding the harshest possible sentence.
For Zarutska’s loved ones, the courtroom taunts only deepened their suffering. “We came here for justice,” one relative said, “not to be mocked by the man who took her life.”
