In January, the bodies of former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Olga Kolinko and her daughter Yaroslava were found in Kyiv. Seventy-one-year-old Kolinko had been seriously ill for many years and did not go outside; her daughter, who lived in a neighboring apartment, looked after her. The women's bodies were found after residents complained about water leaks and lack of response from the owners.

No signs of violent death were found on the women's bodies; the apartments were locked from the inside. It was established that the women died at different times: the mother died about two months before their corpses were found, whereas her daughter died about three weeks before that.
