Those were the final words Raisa heard from her son. She never saw him alive again.Eight days later, she identified his body at the morgue. She was told that he had died of internal bleeding from a stomach ulcer during interrogation by the Russian occupation police. The woman is convinced that her son was tortured to death. Even the official Russian death certificate states that Ruslan died on the day of his detention — a week before she was informed of her son's death. "He was lying there… His eyes were open, his teeth were showing. He must have died in such torment. What my child endured, I can’t even imagine," Raisa said.Ruslan was interrogated at the former Ukrainian police station in the town of Hornostaivka, on the Dnipro River's east bank, in the Russian-occupied part of Kherson Oblast.
