“The Polish prosecutor’s office continues to investigate Nikita’s death. In order to establish the final cause of death, his biological materials have been sent for additional examinations. The process is expected to take from four to eight months. Unfortunately, there is no way to speed it up,” Tsapova wrote.
Lina Tsapova asked people not to speculate or invent information about Nikita’s death.
