According to the defense lawyer of Maxim Prysiazhniuk, his defendant claimed during the trial that it was Krasnoshchiok who smothered the girl and then raped her again. Later, when they were bringing the girl down to the basement, Maxim claimed that he and Artem were sure Oksana was already dead. Hence, they both disagree with charges of murder. Prysiazhniuk also declared that the sex with Oksana was on mutual consent.
