The wife did not confirm or refute her husband’s participation in the rallies. The police informed her that the body shows no signs of violence, NN reports.

“I do not know if he showed up at the rallies or not, I do not know if he was detained or not. On August 12, he stopped communicating and went missing. And today we have been contacted over the phone and told that he was found hanged. Tomorrow we are going to the morgue and the police in order to find out everything. I am sure he could not do it himself,” news media outlet Onliner quotes her.

Notably, Alena Kryutsova says that his phone was last tracked in the Republican Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery in Minsk, but there is no information about Mikita’s staying there.
