“The arrest decision was appealed on Wednesday,” he said.

Lukyanov called Kohal's murder charges and her arrest unfounded. According to him, the fact of Yushko's murder has not been established. 

On July 30, the dismembered body of the musician was found in an apartment on Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, where he lived with his wife and child.

Kohal was later detained on suspicion of her husband's murder. On August 3, the court arrested her for two months.
