Murashka brothers not detained for Vitsebsk KGB blast



Murashka brothers' mother Valyantsina has told Euroradio that no one visited them, and her sons are at work. She has found out about the blast from the Internet.

Valyantsina Murashka: "No one came, or detained, there was nothing of the kind. They usually come. Even when there was a blast in Minsk (July 3) they came at 3 a.m. to check my boys, and today there was nothing".

Previously, Murashka brothers were detained and accused of the blasts in Vitsebsk in 2005. They were released and rehabilitated after 6 months in the pre-trial detention center.

Vital Murashka did not walk into the city alone, he bought everything from the sellers he knew, collected all bills and left the city with a big company of friends on holidays. This is how he granted his alibi. The police visited him after the blast of any fireworks.

Vital has confessed this to Euroradio after the sentence to Kanavalau and Kavalyou had been pronounced:

"I have been under a great psychological pressure throughout all these years. I was afraid to appear in the city where there was a big crowd, alone, with no witnesses. I collected the bills (you will probably laugh) from the shops where I bought anything. I tried to buy things from the sellers who knew me personally. This has played its role - when the police came to me after the blast in Minsk on July 3, 2008 I had an alibi - I was buying something in a kiosk across the road. As for the holidays - May 9, Independence Day, New Year - this is awful! I tried to leave the city with a company of no less than 10 people, so that everything was good".
