About Murder of Oksana Makar

  • The murder of Oksana Makar took place in March 2012 in Ukraine, garnering extensive media coverage both at home and abroad and leading to mass protests.
  • Oksana Makar, aged 18, was attacked by three men in the city of Mykolaiv on 8 March 2012: she was raped, strangled, set alight and left to die, though she survived another three weeks after being taken to hospital.
  • Her case became a cause célèbre in Ukraine when only one of the attackers was charged by the police.
  • The other two, whose parents were reported to be former government officials, were released on police bail, allegedly because of the personal connections of their parents.
  • They were later rearrested after a public outcry, and mass protests on 13 March.
  • Protests demanding justice, to gather funds and encourage blood donations continued after the arrest as well.
