Ukraine on Tuesday arrested two policemen on suspicion of shooting dead a five-year-old boy while drunk in a case that has sparked outrage over lingering corruption and impunity in the force.

The National Bureau of Investigations said the shooting took place on Friday when the two patrol officers were drinking together in a yard in the city of Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky, 70 kilometres southwest of Kiev.The boy, named by local authorities as Kyrylo Tlyavov, died of head injuries in hospital on Monday despite surgeons operating twice to try to save his life.

"Nobody wanted the boy to die," the lawyer told AFP, adding that in his view only one of the men can be guilty of the charge. President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was sworn into office last month, promised to "do everything to fairly punish those guilty" of the boy's death. The incident could have wider consequences, however, due to growing public frustration at the state of the police force.

Durham police: Cop seen in video punching teen in back followed ‘proper protocol'Durham Regional Police say officers seen in a video holding a teenager down on the ground and repeatedly punching him in the back followed proper protocol when trying to apprehend him. People not listening to the police deserve everything they get Knock his teeth out next time. He didn't have to punch him so hard to cause permanent spine damage. It is not the method I have issues with, it's the amount of damage they needlessly perpetuate.
