A man engaged in underwater hunting on the Berezina River in the Asipovichy district found a human body in the water. It turned out to be a 45-year-old resident of Babruysk who went missing last December. His identity was established with the help of a DNA examination, reported the State Committee of Forensic Examinations.
The body was found at the end of September in the Berezina River near the agro-town of Krasnae. It was already badly decomposed, making identification by appearance impossible. There were no documents with it either. However, the police suspected that it might be a man who disappeared in these areas almost ten months ago.
In December 2025, a 45-year-old resident of Babruysk, along with a friend, came to the Asipovichy district to visit his brother. In the evening, after consuming alcohol, he went to the river to fish and did not return. The next morning, only his boat with fishing gear was found near the bank. The man himself could not be found then, and nothing was known about his fate for several months.
To determine the identity of the deceased, experts compared DNA samples taken from the body found in the river and from the biological brother of the missing fisherman.
Y-chromosome DNA analysis confirmed their male-line kinship. Thus, it was established that the found body belongs to the missing resident of Babruysk.
The State Committee of Forensic Examinations reported that during the forensic medical examination, no signs indicating a criminal nature of death were found on the body.
