[passage omitted]
He [Kuchma]can now return [from abroad] with ease. To prove, that it was he who ordered the murder of Gongadze will be very difficult,because the main witness is dead - says Volodymyr Stretovych, the chairman of the parliamentary committee for combating corruption.
How am I supposed to be happy about Kravchenko's suicide? - adds the lawyer of Gongadze's mother, Andriy Fedur. One statement of the former ministercould have solved the case, and now we will never know the whole truth.
The new president Viktor Yushchenko commented: - Everyone has a choice, - to defend his own honour in court or to dispense justice for himself.
One of the theories assumes that Kravchenko made a deal with the investigators and got a few days to think it over, to decide: confessing statement or suicide. A lot of people in Kyiv ask: who has agreed on this kind of solution? And why? To save Kuchma from responsibility. Did Yushchenko or someone from the new Ukraine's authorities know about this scheme?
