Zhukovskyy attends hearing to suppress part of interrogation

LANCASTER — A hearing was held in Coos County Superior Court on Tuesday on a motion by defense attorneys to suppress part of a police interrogation of the truck driver in the June 2019 collision that killed seven motorcyclists in Randolph. At issue is a statement the defendant, 25-year old Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, made in the middle of an interrogation by N.H. State Police three days after the accident.

Defense attorneys Steve Mirkin and Jay Duguay argued that Zhukovskyy invoked his right to stop the questioning when halfway through the interrogation he said, “I mean, like, right now, I don’t even want to answer anything. Like, I’m just, like, out of it.”
