The news portal tv3.lt recalls that when the remains were found in a burned house in the town of Birbiliškė during the tragedy, samples were taken and transported to Vilnius by helicopter. Experts from the Police Forensic Investigation Center examined the samples within hours and found that the remains found at the scene of the fire were Stasio Braso, suspected of shooting a police officer and injuring his colleague on Friday morning. . Bras’s wife, who came to her burned house, tells what happened.
“It just came to our attention then. But the treatment refused. Because he didn’t get it. He didn’t have alcoholism, but it also contributed. And depression is a man anyway. Many people today suffer from depression.” When a person doesn’t understands when it is time to go for treatment, “says the wife of the man who killed the officer.
It was only around midnight, when the expert’s approval was received, that the search for a murderer of a police officer was stopped: huge forces in the Mažeikiai district stopped and inspected the cars and the people driving them. Officers were not entirely sure that the killer had not escaped from the burning house and was not hiding in the woods.
“The operation continued until we established the personality that the body, which was found underneath the parts of the collapsed building, actually belongs to the suspect. And it was the investigation that was conducted at our forensic investigation center. And his personality was determined around 12 noon, “says Remigijus Rudminas, Telšiai County Police Chief.
Hit a colleague in the leg
The Mosino carbine, which began production over a hundred years ago, was found near a burned body. It is believed that it was from him that Stasys Bras, 52, shot the police officers. The alleged killer set them on fire without even leaving as soon as officers approached the home of the domestic violence suspect. A 40-year-old Mazeikiai District Police cynologist, Saulius Žymantas, was shot in the chest and the officer died immediately. The killer hit his fellow police officer in the leg, in the groin, a miracle that the officer survived, such injuries often resulting in death after heavy bleeding.
“Yes, the injuries were very dangerous, only a few millimeters missing from the femoral artery. The patient was successful in the operation, the bullets were removed, the wounds were cleaned and the condition of the patient was “, – Sigitas Kaktys, director of the Mažeikiai Hospital.
After shooting the incoming patrols, Stasys Brasas closed the house and started a fire. There were gunshots and explosions in the burning house. The house burned down completely, leaving only stone walls. It was believed that after taking advantage of the confusion, the assassin escaped. As a result, the area was surrounded and groomed by large police forces. Neighbors said they were aware of the rifle Braso was holding, which often shot at birds.
He also threatened his son-in-law
And Braso’s widow says that although officials did not have data on gun permits, the police should have been aware of the carbine in illegal possession, as she often chased her herself. Stasio Braso’s wife complained not only about the violence, but said the man was going to shoot him.
“I found out that when he left, he started threatening his son, he came with a gun. And then I called, wrote a statement. And the police, knowing they were looking for me with a gun,” says S. Bras’s wife. He also adds that if he had come against the officers, it would have been the target of the man himself.
Police say it will be clarified whether the report to the police has been adequately answered.
“They had to wear safety vests. At least when speaking to the officer being treated, he was definitely wearing a vest. According to information from the police station staff, which I have, officers have been warned several times that they should wear a bulletproof vest, “says Remigijus Rudminas, Telšiai County Police Chief.
It is still unclear why only the unreinforced patrols of the special forces went in search of a man with the intention of shooting his wife. The wife did not suffer during the tragic events as she hid from her husband a few days ago.
