Special police shot Kiev protesters, inquiry says
Ukraine's special police were behind the killings of dozens of anti-government protesters in Kiev in February, a government inquiry says, according to the BBC.
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov told reporters 12 members of the Berkut police had been identified as snipers, and three of them had been arrested.
He presented what he said was new evidence from the shootings on 18-20 February, when 76 people were killed.
Months of mass protests led to the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych.
More than 100 people are now known to have died in Ukraine since the unrest began in November over Mr Yanukovych's last-minute rejection of a landmark deal with the European Union in favour with closer Russian ties.
Ukraine's new authorities have since signed the political part of the association agreement with the EU.
