                    PTSD victim, minus the combat.

In Alanya, an argument erupted between Oleksiy Olesksiyovych 

Navrotsky (38) and his wife Y.N., who both fled the war in Ukraine

with their children, the day before yesterday at around 8 o'clock in the 

morning in their hotel room.  As the argument intensified, Navrotsky 

attacked his wife, daughter T.N. (6) and son K.N. (4) with a knife, 

killing both children.

Y.N. escaped to another room, while Navrotsky wrote a suicide note

and tried to kill himself, unsuccessfully.  He was taken into custody

by police and in his statement, he explained through a translator that

he didn't remember the incident because of the medicine he is taking

for psychological problems.  Nevertheless, Navrotsky was sent to 

the Alanya prison for "murder with intent to kill".  

Navrotsky and his family had first gone to Italy when the Ukraine-

Russia war broke out and then came to Alanya a month and a half

ago.  He is a former parliamentarian from Kharkiv and taught

economics at a university there before the war. 

Alanya is about 150 miles east of Antalya on the Med coast.
