"Daniel was unlawfully killed by someone who pretended to be his friend," the conclusion of the investigation stated. It was revealed during the investigation that the British mercenary may have been killed by a mercenary named Nurin, who holds citizenship in Australia and Algeria.
The television channel reports that Nurin was questioned by Ukrainian investigators in September 2023. He admitted to the shooting, claiming it was an accident. However, Nurin has since left Ukraine, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
