The court arrested a teenager suspected of attempted murder of a teacher and a classmate – prosecutor’s office

A teenager suspected of attempting to kill a teacher and a classmate at a school in Obolon in Kyiv was remanded in custody, the press service of the city prosecutor’s office reported.

“At the request of the juvenile prosecutors of the Obolon district prosecutor’s office, a 14-year-old resident of Kyiv region was placed in custody without bail for a period of 60 days,” the message reads.

The prosecutor’s office added that the suspect is currently in the hospital under the supervision of law enforcement officers, and after the completion of the treatment he will be sent to the pre-trial detention center.

On January 12, Kyiv police reported that a student came to one of the capital’s schools with a knife and injured two people – a teacher and a classmate. According to law enforcement officers, after the attack, the teenager locked himself in the restroom and wounded himself in the arm and stomach with a knife. Currently, he, like the victims, is in a hospital, receiving the necessary medical assistance.

In November 2025, after the shooting incident on the school grounds, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, stated that the schools were “insufficiently protected by basic security measures.”
