Ukrainian Police kill man pursued for Poltava hostage situation last week : Official

Kiev, Aug 1 (Sputnik) Ukrainian law enforcement officers tracked down and neutralized Roman Skripnik, who had previously held a police officer hostage in Poltava, Deputy Interior Minister Anton Gerashchenko said on Saturday.
Last week, the Poltava region police reported that a man whom they wanted to detain for stealing a car was threatening to detonate a grenade. Later, the man took a police officer hostage and left the scene in a car provided by the police. His key demand was to escape criminal liability. The captor eventually fled, abandoning the car and releasing the hostage unharmed.
According to Gerashchenko, the assailant briefly took another officer hostage before he was killed in a special police force raid.
